Editor's Notes
- they represent a new and better way of doing things (not just because we want to hurt legacy publishers) Closer to researchers More innovation Closer to libraries and the actual goals of universities

- Revolution by 1000 ducks. We can migrate scholarly publishing to the future it ought to have together.
