OpenAccess is not a good solution to the issue.
While it keeps access open, it costs ludicrous amounts to submit an article (up to 4k $).
Not to mention the many journals focusing on OA that keep popping up who are purely profit driven, and care little for quality and standards.
With the severe lack of funding in the academic world, OA is not going to be the future, but will potentially skew access and impact towards research with deep pockets (rather than quality).
