[Techdirt](http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130210/14302221939/how-peerj-is-changing-everything-academic-publishing.shtml):

> Between 1996 and 2010, journal subscription prices [rose at four times the rate of inflation](http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/pamphlet/2013/01/29/why-open-access-is-better-for-scholarly-societies/). The result is that each published paper now costs the academic world [more than $5000](http://svpow.com/2012/07/18/what-does-it-cost-to-publish-a-paywalled-paper-with-anyone/). Prices are so extreme that even Harvard, the wealthiest university in the world, recently declared that [it can't afford to keep paying all its subscriptions](http://svpow.com/2012/04/23/harvards-library-cant-afford-journal-subscriptions/). Not only can the public which funded the work not access it: often, neither can the researchers who need it as a basis for new work. It's insane. Academic publishers have made themselves [the enemies of science](http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/jan/16/academic-publishers-enemies-science).

> [Harvard's memo](http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k77982&tabgroupid=icb.tabgroup143448) about being unable to pay subscriptions included a list of nine things its staff, students and librarians could do to change the current publishing system. The second is key: "submit articles to open-access journals ... move prestige to open access". PeerJ, along with PLOS ONE and other new open-access initiatives such as [eLIFE](http://elife.elifesciences.org/) and [The Open Library of Humanities](https://www.openlibhums.org/) offer top-quality options for publishing research. Now it's up to researchers to use them.

Mit [PeerJ](https://peerj.com/pricing/) wird in dem Artikel ein neuer auf Open Access setzender US-Publisher näher beschrieben, der versucht, das grotesk kaputte System zu verändern. Einer der Investoren von PeerJ ist Tim O'Reilly.
