Biologists love to quantify things. Even when it makes no sense. Your value as a biologist is your publication record. That is, number of papers in "high impact" journals. Nothing to do with the quality of your output at all. A tremendous amount of lip service is given to the virtues of publishing in open access journals. Or to using modern technology (like the WWW!) instead of paper. But when it comes to it, do you think those very people advocating change will put their research out there and lose a Nature/Science paper? It requires entire institutions or governments to step up and determine how their research will be made available. Individuals will not do it. They will not stop climate change. They will not stop old fashioned publishing.
