So whether it's licensing agreements such as Copyleft or Creative Commons, or open access journals, or even massively online open courses, the open educational practices are gaining ground and influence in the academic world. And open access journals are opening up knowledge for all without payment.

Open access journals (and there are several alternative funding models that support these) are the best way to address these problems. They open content up to be read by a much larger audience, and in my personal experience, they turn around reviews and publish sugnifcantly quicker than the standard traditional closed journals.

But it is probably still true that you are only as good as your last journal article, book, or conference presentation. This is a little different to publishing a paper based journal article or book. You can't delete a journal article, and you can't change it once it's in print. There's little that can be done about that.

Students and educators depend on access to scholarly journals, which in turn, develops a more robust knowledge and education, and spurs innovation, advancement, and growth in our societies. Instead of spending precious time trying to reinvent the wheel, educators cite and use OER resources that have already done the grunt work for them.

Although journal articles and books are a great source of knowledge, many articles go quickly out of date, and were probably in most cases already out of date by the time they were published, due to ponderous editorial and review processes, and a general back-log of articles that wait in a queue to be published.

However, as a growing number of academics, many highly respected by their peers, migrate away from the closed journal system and refuse to dance any longer to the old tune, greater numbers will be publishing not only in open access journals, but also on blogs.

Journal articles take so long to publish, they are often out of date long before the ink is dry. This is because they go through a process of peer review and revision, and then they can hit a brickwall if the journal has a significant backlog of accepted papers, and a page count limit (which most do). How about some monetary reward?
