We are four Stanford students looking to improve academic publishing and we want to hear from you!

We are four students (incl. three MBAs and two PhDs), all of us fed up with academic publishing and embarking on a project to improve the process. But before we start building anything, we want to hear from as many scientists as possible. We'd love to hear your thoughts on what the biggest issues are. (The amount of time it takes? The opacity of peer reviews? The Elsevier racket?)

Please leave your comments below, or PM me to arrange a short interview.
