I support your message in spirit. But I have a concern. The more open publishing becomes, almost by definition, the more dilution happens to the citation process. Want to know where this happened before? Trace back to Google's origins, where the "brilliance" of the "citation" technique made it so much better to begin with. But what happened afterwards? Was the interlinking just left as it was, pristine and still as valuable, just waiting for Google and other search engines to exploit it? Of course not. Any kind of system which can be gamed will be gamed. And what happened to the internet after Google became the sheriff? I would say it is now a fairly overcomplicated and twisted system (especially for the hobbyist) with the cat and mouse game going on between SEO companies and Google. The distortions that are introduced today in order to get published, will be replaced by new distortions that will be introduced to get cited.
