Summary:
To talk about journal collapse now -- when subscriptions revenues are doing just fine, thank you, whereas open access is still lacking -- is utter nonsense. One can only wonder how long such nonsense will continue to be taken seriously by researchers' institutions and funders. For once this canard is laid to rest, perhaps they will get around to the optimal, inevitable and obvious solution: Mandate green open access self-archiving. The rest will take care of itself quite naturally of its own accord.
