Re:Get over it (Score 1)

Even now the journals often charge for publishing in them. When this suggestion becomes a law, all will charge, and substantially more. The money for publication charges will come from the same government grant, and people will still pay for that, but in a different fashion. In order for journals to exist, someone must pay. Granted, there have been attempts at all-electronic journals and preprint archives, like arxiv.org. However, for many reasons (good and bad) a peer-reviewed journal is still the way to publish, and it should/will remain that way.
