This move along with other technological advances will be critical in order for the increasingly complex transmission of information such as 3D video and connected interactive VR. It would also be nice to see lower service plan costs as well...

EDP Sciences has just launched Liberty APCs - a new model where the author chooses its own fair price to publish an article in Open Access (OA).
Liberty APCs is a useful model for journals at launch stage and for the first years of publication. It provides a useful gauge of a journal's value before it is indexed, as all authors who have a requirement to publishing Open Access can publish in a journal relevant to their research regardless of access to funding.

this is not concreate problem but how do you show acknowledgements to open science volunteer or citizen contributors in future? i can understand i cannot write whole volunteers' name as authors in report paper. http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html

Probably the worst path to take (problem is not in the publishers/monopolizers, problem is in the authors that naively give them copyrights), but very interesting numbers and opinions.

How one researcher has made nearly every scientific paper ever published available for free to anyone
"Researchers and universities don’t earn a single penny from the fees charged by publishers such as Elsevier for accepting their work, while Elsevier has an annual income over a billion U.S. dollars."
"Why would any self-respecting researcher willingly hand over, for nothing, the copyright to their hard work to an organization that will profit from the work by making the keys prohibitively expensive to the few people who want to read it? The answer is ultimately all to do with career prospects and prestige. Researchers are rewarded in jobs and promotions for publishing in high-ranking journals such as Nature. Ironically, it is becoming increasingly common for researchers to be unable to access even their own published work, as wealthier and wealthier universities join the ranks of those unable to pay rising subscription fees."
"The efficiency of the (Sci-Hub) system is really quite astounding, working far better than the comparatively primitive modes of access given to researchers at top universities, tools that universities must fork out millions of pounds for every year. Users now don’t even have to visit the Sci-Hub website at all; instead, when faced with a journal paywall they can simply take the Sci-Hub URL and paste it into the address bar of a paywalled journal article immediately after the “.com” or “.org” part of the journal URL and before the remainder of the URL. When this happens, Sci-Hub automatically bypasses the paywall, taking the reader straight to a PDF without the user ever having to visit the Sci-Hub website itself."
