RE: PRACTICAL THINKING. — Strategies for open, free, and transparent scientific publishing. It's the future of publishing. But how do you get the future earlier? Sooner rather than later?
ONE MORE COMMENT.
One thing I forgot to add. Any modern publishing system should be capable of being changed / updated while running. it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUkQaCK4Hk3cMrbXbqMMYSoQ&v=IPsZyfGCaKs is an interesting discussion to watch.)
It might be desirable for a way to exist for individual channels (~journal) to add features to their own channel without requiring browser extensions or anything like that, without requiring the whole system to go down, or individual servers and bots being set up, but just objects that live within the channel and can be added and removed in real time. To allow each journal to add a specific feature it wants. That would be a new value proposition. Compared to any existing platform.
The internet as a whole does not go down while part of it is changed. Or replaced. That allows add / removal. This assisted in rapid user adoption of internet technology; encouraged users to switch to it.
This will be the subject of a longer post.
