The current landscape of scientific publishing calls for a disruption between the publication of scientific articles and quality control agencies. In this essay, we propose the development of Self-Publication Journals (SPJs) as a solution. In a SPJ, the author and the editor are the same person, streamlining the publication process. Scientific papers are valuable sources of knowledge and empowerment, generated by researchers. However, paywall journals restrict free open access to this knowledge. There is an urgent need to upgrade the publishing system to fully incorporate the potential of digital technology. Unfortunately, traditional journals do not meet all the technological demands of academic publishing. Therefore, considering the importance of scientific papers and the limitations of paywall and traditional journals, we propose reinventing scientific journals through self-publication, a concept inspired by self-publishing in the book industry.
Reinventing Scientific Journals through Open Science Practices and Self-Publicat
This is a subject dear to my heart and you have covered it perfectly. These publication issues have been around for a while but still little has been done. Thanks for an excellent set of proposals

It is, what you suggested, right in my laundry list of things to do IN MY ESSAY, Yes I approve of this completely and so you get a 10. Congrats. I suggested this among other fixes in my own essay. But no question you are right on this one,.
Thank you so much for the comments!
Like your comprehensive approach that emphasizes alternatives to enrich science as well as new publication and inclusive access ideas that include rather than put off new ideas not just in publishing but also in new concepts as well. My essay, "Global Externalities and a new science" tends to offer science and scientists in not just basic science research but also research in human evolution problems that tend to stifle or misdirect science, something which the dominant corporate culture does with its money and its agenda. Corporate capitalistic dominance which purposely reshaped our culture has also helped lead us to a possible future extinction. Accordingly, science must look for this solution as well addressing conditions making it possible. Contest time growing short, there seems to be a shortage of ratings with our anonymous system, so I hope to remedy that in the time allotted.
