I dette intervjuet "How Bidding for Publishing Services Could Lower Academic Journal Costs" foreslår han å konkurranseutsette forlagstjenester omtrent som universitetet konkurranseutsetter rengjøringstjenester.
Det tror jeg er en fornuftig vei å gå, og siden man da kan bare flytte innholdet dersom man ikke ønsker å bruke dem lenger, så kan dette fungere bra.
Forfatterbetaling vil bare gjøre det enda dyrere å publisere mener Brembs, illustrert med et veldig overbevisende argument:
If people are willing to pay more than 230k ($58,600 a year) for a Yale degree or over 250k ($62,772 a year) just to have “Harvard” on their diplomas, why wouldn’t they be willing to shell out a meager 90k for a paper that might give them tenure? That’s just a drop in the bucket, pocket cash. Just like people will go deep into debt to get a degree from a prestigious university, they will go into debt for a publication in a prestigious journal – it’s exactly the same mechanism.
