From Google translate:

"Government sponsored Open Access can revolutionize the academy

Sweden's university is in great need of reform. Many chronicles could be written and have been rewritten, but an area of ​​particular need for reform is the scientific journals and the ineffective and unfair system through which research is being researched and published.



 
As a PhD student, I gained insight into this absurd system: I send an article to a magazine, after which it takes about a month to know if approved by the editor, which in that case sends it to peer review - Thus, to some (as author) anonymous researchers in my field, which within 3-12 months will have read the article and sent feedback to me and the editor.

It is almost never happening that an article is approved immediately; At least one reviewer will have at least one thing that they want to change. I therefore need to rewrite the article and submit it again for peer review - and it does not necessarily take less time to get the answer the second time. Once the article is approved, it will be published in the next issue of the journal; Most people come out 2-4 times a year, so it may take another few months until research is available to others to read. Since a scientific discovery has taken place until other researchers read, it may take years!"
