We have services like youtube and Flicker that provide hosting for movies and pictures for free. The data requirements are far greater for these services than they would be for an academic journal hosting. If you didn't want to go the centralized method a small journal with under 1,000 readers (>10MB per month per user) could probably host buy hosting for under $100/year. Something that small would be easy to cover out of pocket or via donations

- Goladus 15y agoWell, for most of the JSTOR documents that's probably not the case. But yes sharing with large academic datasets is a real and only partially solved (IOW not solved at all) problem.
