What I am struck with is the complete and total waste of my tax dollars. Academic journals? Funded by, overwhelmingly, public funds? The only people who read these are academics and they get them through University libraries. The whole business model behind these journals is to get money from the authors (essentially tacking on their publication fee to the grant proposal, thus more suckling at the Federal teet). These publications should be free. I don't normally like the idea of law being written from the bench, but where the hell was the judge on this?
