  fwiw, it's important to remember that there's a lot of diversity involved. In my university, for example, the library pushes hard for movement toward open public standards. I've also seen junior faculty make efforts to publish in open journals. But then those junior faculty get slammed by [some] senior faculty for not publishing in higher profile journals and not having enough of an impact factor. There's also a lot of legitimate grievances against open journals, due to the financial incentives that are created and the types of review processes that are encouraged by their policies. So there's a chicken-and-egg factor and a lot of disagreement about what should be happening. Personally, I think there should be a huge shift in publishing practices in academics, but it's going to take some time.
