Free online science journals

Here's an post on Ars Technica about a bill to make all the published results of all science research freely available. In my view, most journals are dying. The sorting function mentioned is actually somewhat less valuable than you might think. It's based on peer-review, and peer review has serious issues with political cross-talk and lazy reviewers. Many scientists use aggregate journals like the APS/AIP's VJ-series, and sort the articles themselves with a quick scan through the titles and abstracts.

What actually is more important is that it has served as an evaluation method for scientific output (hence the cross-talk). This result is like google vs google bombs. I have suggested that there is a place for science eunichs/drones, whose role would be to serve as professional journal referees. I still like that idea.
