Guardian.UK: Is the staggeringly profitable business of scientific publishing bad for science?
It is as if the New Yorker or the Economist demanded that journalists write and edit each other’s work for free, and asked the government to foot the bill. Outside observers tend to fall into a sort of stunned disbelief when describing this setup.
My issue is, winnowing good research from bad. It's not enough to just accept a scientific study in a journal.
