Comparing Research Journals Quality #1: FAIRness of journal articles
What a traditional research article looks like. Nice layout, hard to reuse the knowledge from. Image: CC BY-SA 4.0 . After Plan S was proposed, there finally was a community-wide discussion on the future of publishing. Not everyone is clearly speaking out if they want open access or not, but there's a start for more. Plan S aims to reform the current model. (Interestingly, the argument that not a lot of journals are currently "compliant" is sort of the point of the Plan.) One thing it does not want to reform, is the quality of the good journals (at least, ...

Who knows, maybe some JavaDocs maintainer somewhere will feel inspired ...
