It's somewhat surprising to me that someone hasn't proposed a policy (for private universities) or legislation (for public ones) that require professors to be paid to review articles that are not open access.

Currently UC Berkeley is negotiating their elsevier subscription, if I were cal, I would put that sort of a policy on the table.



It's not just Berkeley, but the entire UC Library system including fairly large university campuses, making it one of the largest university libraries in the world.


Thanks for the clarification!!
