I was told that the publishers organize the Peer Review Panel, and they determine whether a scholarly piece is worthy to be published.

Can something be published without the standard Peer Review panel?

They also arrange the peer review process and keep an archive and index of past articles. Critics also eagerly point out that, like public libraries, open access journals, so far, depend on government grants and have yet to prove themselves to be financially sustainable. [...]

As a researcher who has published for many years, I have to agree that OA and traditional approaches are not binary and that both will have their place.

However, their focus is not on author or reader. It is currently on author and subscriber.

Many journals are too expensive for me to subscribe to. Apparently only libraries can. And as a reader they charge men upwards of $60. I am not well served by this approach.

I am better served by association-based pseudo-OA journals that give me free access after say 6 months but only charge me $5 to read the article before then.

These journals join up authors, members, subscribers and readers into a potent mix that may come to dominant scientific publishing.
