I haven't read the whole thing yet, but one of their recommendations in the intro is for institutions to stop subscriptions to anything but diamond open access journals. I would love to be able to do that, but i worry that too much research is still published in the bad journals and it would hurt our lab's ability to do high impact science.

This calls for some quantitative research: What is the critical mass of open access publications in some area from which it becomes feasible to fully boycott closed access research?
Or maybe we don't have the suitable tools for that task: Do we need a copyleft (or rather "citeleft"?) mechanism for scientific publications?
I hate that shit so much; it's gate keeping the use of scientific infornation to the capitalists and labour aristocrats.
Even sci-hub and oadoi doesn't always have the study.
