Yeah, just to spell out how things work in CS for the things you mentioned: > Peer review Organized and performed by volunteers. > curating for quality Ditto. > editing, typesetting Done by authors (LaTeX isn't perfect, but it gets you "good enough" typesetting. And the last time a journal edited a paper of mine they mangled it because the person editing wasn't familiar with technical topics & jargon). > creating physical copies No one needs these any more; they just print the PDF if necessary.
