It's crazy how expensive science journals are. Philosophy journals are much more reasonable, typically 35-50 dollars a year for an individual subscription. That gives you some idea of what it actually costs to produce a journal.

Unrelated point: with 50 million articles, I wonder if Sci-Hub is looking into ipfs. That would solve the danger of getting knocked off-line by legal action.

Philosophers still don't understand that value of of information is not the total sum for the articles available but the relevant one?

Funnily enough the keywords are making search way more efficient than google learning algorithms.

Anyone could now write a good search engine for this problem now that I think of it with some xhi². With a good tokenizer we could even use scholarship keywords to tag the rest of the internet.

aren't philosophers required to read until their eyes pop out? would put the price in perspective.
