@mattjhodgkinson@scicomm.xyz @brembs@mastodon.social @villavelius@mastodon.online @Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org It certainly is part of the funders' responsibility to provide such replacement systems. The Gates announcement recognizes this: "By discontinuing to support these fees, we can work to address inequities in current publishing models and reinvest the funds elsewhere. We will work to support an Open Access system and infrastructure that ensures articles and data are readily available to a wider range of audiences."

@mattjhodgkinson@scicomm.xyz @brembs@mastodon.social @mike@sauropods.win @Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org Will they en masse revert to subscription journals and big deals? Can they even? Or will the arrival of the internet have such an effect on the publishing environment that the metaphorical 'dinosaurs' won't be able to survive, just like the real dino's couldn't survive after the arrival of the asteroid drastically changed their environment some 66m years ago?
