May 20, 2021 at 13:49 comment added PLL @chux-ReinstateMonica: For most of us, the permanency is more about career plans. If you move university then that email will (usually) expire; but you can take Gmail with you wherever you go. Most junior academics expect to have to move within a few years; many more established academics may still want to plan for the possibility of it.

May 20, 2021 at 7:43 comment added Per Alexandersson Sure, but gmail has (much) better spam filters, compared to universities in general. Also, I do not think people in academia are good spam/scam targets.
May 20, 2021 at 7:23 comment added And But any public email address attracts a lot of spam. Ever since my (university) email address became public through my first publication the number of spam mails I recieved skyrocketed. I would not put my personal email address on a paper. Maybe a separate address for such correspondence?
