abstract = {Replacing traditional journals with a more modern solution
is not a new idea. 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.},
