The one I don't get is why not pay reviewers? $1000 per review? If you look at publishers' profit margins, you will see that they can afford it. I actually think the scientific community should go on a "review strike" until reviewers get paid.

Scientists in the Soviet Bloc got paid for publishing their scientific papers (and maybe for citations as well - not sure about that one)! We need to change the current system! Although these changes could be accompanied by many other pleasant virtues of the Soviet regime.
