   How did we end up with business middlemen gatekeeping academic careers via paid for academic journals that get free contributions from the same academics?

     Human Performance in academic setting is more than making money for another organisation based on charging fees for publishing free content, <cough> research findings. With all that brain power they couldn’t come up with a system? That is the antonym of “thinking”.

     Note: Businesses may want to replace humans as they are usually the largest expense on the balance sheet, but they don’t outsource human performance reviews. It’s a core function of a manager.
