    having third-party publishers that are specifically not affiliated with any org that produces research was supposed to prevent biases in who and what gets published and provide a kind of standardized system for determining the quality of a paper / peer-review process /etc and allow for comparison across the whole scientific community. It has since been corrupted for profit takers. I am liking the idea of integrating into the public library system though…couldn’t be a university library though because again, biases.
