@Torfinn @EposVox Many journals (including those I publish in and review for) are published by academic societies or other non-profit bodies. They can be funded by a combination of library agreements, direct funding and ancillary revenue.

Academic libraries and abstracting services are also very good at making sure material is preserved; that’s precisely their job. The problems lie elsewhere.

@davidjamesweir @EposVox I’d love to see this be the standard rather than the exception but it seems like if you’re a neuroscientist doing research on something big you’re surely trying to get published in one of the big name for profit journals in order to gain the credit and prestige associated with them and I think that’s indicative of a system/ not situational issue.

@davidjamesweir @Torfinn @EposVox And precisely with Springer, Wiley, and, possibly worst of all, Elsevier.
