Fuck journals. We all own the content, because we all pay for it with our tax dollars. And the scientists pay to have the stuff published (like sometimes over $2000 per article), so really we own that, too. Now that the technology is available there's not one single good reason why most government funded reasearch shouldn't be public. Its not like the editors and reviewers are getting paid, so that's easily transferable. NIH should have their own journal network.
