Ecolog:
The Canadians are 'way ahead of US on this! Queen's University has been one
of the few to come up with some interesting wrinkles on academic publishing,
and has been doing so for (over a decade?) a long time.
The deficiencies of the "old" system is one "plague" that has needed
conquering for a long time.
What further actions would help erase the remaining deficiencies? Or can
they be?

Subject: [ECOLOG-L] New online community for open peer-review in science
Dear Ecolog readers,
Academic publishing continues to evolve. Science Open
Reviewed<https://science-open-reviewed.com> is a brand new model - with
novel features that no one else is trying - a unique platform for building
and serving an online community of science researchers:
- Where authors can arrange to get their papers peer-reviewed openly,
quickly and expertly by the best reviewers, without the biases and
inefficiencies that plague the traditional blind peer-review system;
- Where reviewers can be rewarded with fair compensation, recognition, and
reputation metrics;
- Where researchers can disseminate their discoveries rapidly, without the
gate-keeping elitism fueled by competition between journals for impact
factor status;
- Where researchers can disseminate their discoveries affordably, without
draining research and library budgets to feed the profits of commercial
publishers that charge exorbitant prices for authors fees and reader access.
- Where journal editors can shop for papers that are already peer-reviewed
and ready for publication.
