    Real talk, what is the real barrier to somebody creating a competing publishing firm for these things.

    I’m not a scientist, but I always hear about how expensive it is to either publish or get access to scientific papers without contacting the author directly. Why does that reputation exist? Why does it seem like the scientific community is so dependent on stuff like this?
