There is a sense that the journal system is obviously flawed and could be trivially improved. Why hasn’t EA done this?
We publish lots of material, we have lots of resources. It seems possible to imagine building a few journals that run in a different way.
And even if others don’t respect them, if EA orgs did and they were less onerous to publish to I imagine outsiders would start to.
I haven’t actually thought much about the academic journal system, though I’m interested in what David Reinstein (former RP staff member) has been doing with his Unjournal.
