Sponsoring institutions (universities, NIH, USGS, etc.) should e-publish their own work. Internal organizations must be set up to coordinate external review and document handling, but these costs can be offset by eliminating subscription fees. Resulting scholarship is available to all.

Universities created this mess. Let them clean it up. After all, Deans can’t read. They can only count. Let them learn to read.

I also advocate for “living publications” where incremental advances are reported in large revised studies rather than creating a new LPU (least publishable unit).
