- _delirium 15y agoThe physics approach seems to be doing something pretty close, through the de-facto combination of traditional journals and arXiv. As the post says, the arXiv isn't itself peer reviewed, but many of the papers there are also published in journals, and the arXiv entry says that if so. The physics community has basically detached the peer-review and the access/archiving phases: the peer-review stays with journals, but the arXiv stores a PDF of the result. Some journals have even automated the pipeline; a number of physics journals will automatically upload an arXiv version of every published paper.
