😆 I love how @johanrooryck and colleagues both confirm the legacy publishers' worst fears and, at the same time, very accurately, describe a thriving market that is the alternative:

"Commercial providers can be contracted to deliver services such as submission systems, copyediting and typesetting. Contracts with service providers should provide cost transparency, be competitive, time-limited, and free of lock-in mechanisms or non-disclosure agreements."
