Many countries’ funding agencies require open access publications for work based on their funding. However, open access fees are insanely high in some journals (e.g. around $12k for the higher impact factor Nature journals)…

that’s also bullshit, I reviewed papers for publication. it’s free labour, hosting a pdf is nearly free.

there’s no justification.

  Oh yeah, those price tags are insane. They’re making crazy profits of public money thanks to hiring schemes based on impact factors :/

  I like to keep the submitted version after review but without editing on my public repositories. Even when I publish open access.

    Some of the papers I have reviewed was among the worse stuff I read.
    
    I do not want to keep that

We need national journals that are free for all people to read and mandate publication through them.

  I like the general direction of that idea. But honestly, not sure if this should be national with all the political pressure and censorship that could come from that. With how international scientific research is, perhaps the UN or a newly formed international organisation could oversee such journals.
