"The megajournal aims to revolutionise academic publishing by slashing publication times, providing research for free to anyone with an internet connection and publishing online what peer reviewers have to say about the studies to improve transparency." [SNIP] "UCL Press is also developing an open access platform for textbooks rising from the initial two to 12 to start with in another move that overturns the conventional model of selling textbooks over the counter." https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/news-articles/0118/ucl-launches-open-access- megajournal?t=1&cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&refsrc=email&iid= 9bba61dd627749869b9e252c354e14ea&uid=774480907&nid=244+276893704
