This isn't the right solution.

A large funding body just needs to announce that starting from 5 years in the future, they will only count articles published in open journals on the applicant's track record.

That will fix things quick smart.



Why isn't it the right solution?

And why 5 years and not tomorrow?

By "large funding committee" you mean a grant-providing one? If so this is more or less the main culprit of my comment.


The total lack of incentives aside from ‘doing the right thing’ perhaps?
