DESCRIPTION:The scholarly journal system began with Olbenburgh and the Roy
 al Society 351 years ago as an improvement on the system of sending letter
 s to alert people to new discoveries. Now\, with the advent of the interne
 t\, this system is no longer fit for purpose. Journal publication is rarel
 y how researchers actually communicate their work\, but has become a proxy
  for ‘quality’ assessment. Because the reward system values publishing
  in high impact journals we are now in a cycle which supports publisher pr
 ofits at the expense of scholarly communication and research budgets.\n
