There's a article coming up at the TRUST workshop this year (co-located with PLDI) which addresses this issue: http://tinyurl.com/kwnbl9e http://tinyurl.com/kwnbl9e (workshop: http://c-mind.org/events/trust2014/ http://c-mind.org/events/trust2014/) It describes a new dissemination model where journals are entirely dismissed (including open access), in favor of a true peer-to-peer network, open reviews, guaranteed timestamps, and free access to articles. Hopefully the full text of the article will be online as the workshop date comes close...
