@naught101 @kinyutaka @yabellini So ideally, scientists publishing in journals would retain copyright on their work, and give the journal a non-exclusive license to publish.
Instead of transferring all copyright to the journal.

Plenty of journals do that already (Nature, I think, and the IoP journals) while others leave copyright with authors on open access articles (eg Taylor&Francis). It should be universal though.

@rochelimit @naught101 @kinyutaka @yabellini And some of those journals make authors pay for open publishing.

Oh yeah, open access charges are usually a massive rip off - the journals cream off a lot more than they deserve.
