@adamshostack @vardi @tychotithonus I believe our publications should not be in the hand of a single institution. #arXiv, #OpenResearchEurope (https://open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/) or even better a distributed/federated repository run by universities would be a better solution. In terms of editing, at least in CS, publishers don’t add value but friction (it’s outsourced to underpaid workers who add unnecessary mistakes and are impossible to communicate with), so this step can probably discarded. Indexing is still largely controlled by the big publishers ( #scopus), so we need open alternatives (such as #dblp).
