Here, we propose ways to overcome the social dilemma underlying the decades of inaction. Any solution needs to not only resolve the current problems but also be capable of preventing takeover by corporations: it needs to replace traditional journals with a decentralized, resilient, evolvable network that is interconnected by open standards and open-source norms under the governance of the scholarly community. It needs to replace the monopolies connected to journals with a genuine, functioning and well-regulated market. In this new market, substitutable service providers compete and innovate according to the conditions of the scholarly community, avoiding sustained vendor lock-in. Therefore, a standards body needs to form under the governance of the scholarly community to allow the development of open scholarly infrastructures servicing the entire research workflow. We propose a redirection of money from legacy publishers to the new network by funding bodies broadening their minimal infrastructure requirements at recipient institutions to include modern infrastructure components replacing and complementing journal functionalities. Such updated eligibility criteria by funding agencies would help realign the financial incentives for recipient institutions with public and scholarly interest. 001017067 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 001017067 7001_ $$00000-0002-7789-6197$$aHuneman, Philippe$$b1 001017067 7001_ $$aSchönbrodt, Felix$$b2 001017067 7001_ $$00000-0001-5273-0150$$aNilsonne, Gustav$$b3 001017067 7001_ $$00000-0003-2513-573X$$aSusi, Toma$$b4 001017067 7001_ $$aSiems, Renke$$b5 001017067 7001_ $$aPerakakis, Pandelis$$b6 001017067 7001_ $$aTrachana, Varvara$$b7 001017067 7001_ $$aMa, Lai$$b8 001017067 7001_ $$aRodriguez-Cuadrado, Sara$$b9 001017067 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2787755-3$$a10.1098/rsos.230206$$gVol. 10, no. 7, p. 230206$$n7$$p230206$$tRoyal Society Open Science$$v10$$x2054-5703$$y2023 001017067 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1017067/files/brembs-et-al-2023-replacing-academic-journals.pdf$$yOpenAccess 001017067 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1017067$$qdnbdelivery 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1190$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBiological Abstracts$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1040$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bZoological Record$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0501$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ Seal$$d2021-03-15T10:45:56Z 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ$$d2021-03-15T10:45:56Z 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0700$$2StatID$$aFees$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bDOAJ : Anonymous peer review$$d2021-03-15T10:45:56Z 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0561$$2StatID$$aArticle Processing Charges$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1120$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Reviews Reports And Meetings$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0430$$2StatID$$aNational-Konsortium$$d2023-09-02$$wger 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)10000$$2StatID$$aHosted Content 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0320$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bPubMed Central$$d2023-09-02 001017067 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2023-09-02 001017067 920__ $$lno 001017067 9801_ $$aOPENSCIENCE 001017067 980__ $$ajournal 001017067 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ZB-20090406
