Isnt this the model academics have long used to publish their research? That is, we spend some number of hours doing research and writing it up for the privilege of giving it away to journals, who then own the copyright, sell subscriptions, and charge obscenely high prices to non-subscribers who wish to read a single article, and we do it for the exposure and prestige of being published. Is this new? In todays digital world, couldnt we skip the journal publishers and produce our own peer-reviewed publications electronically?
