Is there not a wikipedia style site specifically for academics yet? We don’t need publishers anymore.
Really I’m amazed there are still record labels and producers as well.

More and more stuff in Math and CS goes up on arxiv before publication. I think the structure would not work as well for humanities though, math is easier and faster to verify
It’s not the only way, e.g. “Sorbonne University has decided to unsubscribe from the Web of Science, to refocus its attention on free, open and participative infrastructures like OpenAlex” from sorbonne-universite.fr/…/sorbonne-university-deci…
I didn’t get it at first but following a link led me to “According to its commitment to open research information, it has decided to discontinue its subscription to the Web of Science publication database and Clarivate bibliometric tools in 2024. By resolutely abandoning the use of proprietary bibliometric products, it is opening the way for open, free and participative tools.”

Research level math is easy and fast to verify? I don’t know about that
It’s hard to come up with solutions but often trivial to check whether the solution works
Not in my experience (statistics)
It costs a lot of money to run wikipedia. The internet is not free (as in beer).
Openreview is kinda close, among other things:
It’s mainly used for math/cs/ml conference publishing right now.

That’s good news!
