    While it doesn't seem that peer review developed as a way to suppress upstarts and threats to scientific dogma, it can have that effect. Which is another reason I like - you can get your ideas out there without having to first run the gauntlet of peer review.

    The costs of an overlay journal: $99 per month for basic Scholastica service. $10 per submission for peer review management. $1 per accepted article for DOI at Crossref. That's it! Open access should be cheap. via

    Putting manuscripts behind paywalls after expensive typesetting in formats (PDF) difficult to parse does not add value. Make them so that machines can reveal the relationships among them and aggregate info across them to truly add value!
