Do it! You have my support (which isn't worth much, but hey!).

I must admit what I wrote was simplified.

If you take into account that a lot of research grants are financed by tax money though...

love it!

You could even incorporate the (route through the) city in the story...

Thanks, I will be looking into this!

Sorry, I might have misunderstood - I thought there would be some journals employing that "review to submit" system you mentioned.

It's happening in Germany as well. Universities are banding together to negotiate better deals with publishers - some subscriptions haven't been renewed when the publishers weren't forthcoming. It's not a solution (that would be the wide establishment of independent, self organized/hosted Open Access journals - using Open Journal Systems for example) but it's a start.

Oh, could you share some links?

Don't forget the university libraries. Yup, researchers are paid by the university, those researchers pay the publishers to place their articles, the peer reviewers are also paid by the university. And then the university has to shell out money to the publishers, so the articles can be accessed.

Came here to post this. It's so evil, it even has ebooks meant for entertainment.

Never visit downmagaz either!
