Summary:
"The ideal solution is for journals to be fully funded directly by universities, governments or professional societies, thereby making their use free of charge for both authors and readers. In such a system, we can ensure that the incentives of publishers are firmly aligned with their envisaged role as gatekeepers of good science. Such a system need not be prohibitively expensive if measures like those discussed above are adopted."
