Re: Somebody has to pay anyway
One of the banes of academic life is an increasing number of serious-sounding specialist journals that are complete junk.
Not junk in the sense of the earlier comment about Elsevier's "bundles" (you want this journal, you have to subscribe to these others that *nobody* wants - a sort of anti-BOGOF), but actual junk. Fake peer reviews, incompetent or non-existent proof-reading, etc. So now, you also have to assure yourself (whether publishing or reading) of the validity of each of your 4 points anyway.
