There are a while slew of low-cost, open-access journals out there, but the wider academic community still places far too much weight on individual journals' impact factors. Is it the responsibility of publishers to try to effect a wider change in attitudes? It seems doomed to failure to try and make them, and it seems like pressure from within might be the only way to deal with the problem.
