Epic is also planning to sever commercial ties with organizations which place paywalls in front of academic papers they didn’t fund.

If a publication wants to charge money for access to its complication of work, of course that’s fine. The real problem is that these academic societies and publishers contractually prevent the original authors from distributing the work directly to the community themselves!

Awesome! Thanks! Commercial publishers primarily seek to reap absurd profits, not just cover their admin costs. Academics today retain the right to distribute their own versions of their works, but it is harder for people to find these.

The academic editors and reviewers and aren’t even paid! They only pay their staff whose job is to spam academics emails to invite them to review! Thanks for taking a stand against this ridiculous situation!

You are a little bit mistaken. Peer reviews are made free by other science community members. They are not paid. Scientist pay for publishing, readers pay for reading. Scientist are also making their papers ready to publish...

I think that's what was meant with "administration" - sure, I'm reviewing other papers basically for free, but the editors that find such reviewers are paid by the publisher. Along with the rest of the infrastructure surrounding this process.
