Peer review is not working very well as it is.
If you want to fix peer review, redirect a fraction of the current
journal profits to actually pay reviewers (if only - for the timely
reviews).
Piotr, who currently has one article waiting for a reviewer for 13
months, and another, for 11. Sigh.

The alternative of direct government subsidy of journals is even more
dangerous, as it will give politicians control over what gets published.
