There's also the problem of the cost of publishing a paper in the first place. In my field (astronomy), publishing a paper in a peer-reviewed journal will cost you at least $1000 with an extra $100 for every table in it. You can easily spend $3000 for the privilege of publishing a paper in a peer-reviewed journal and then pay $20 for the privilege of reading it.
