Quality control aspect of journals?
Effect on opportunities for up-and-coming scholars?
Jeopardize more obscure journals?
What sort of problems would the opt-out system entail?
One difficulty would be presented if a majority of journals require professors to seek exemptions in order to release all copyright to the journals themselves. In this situation, the opt-out policy could effectively undermine the open access proposal by resulting in few articles being released under the University copyright scheme. There could also be a "tipping point" effect whereby journals realizing that most of their peers are opting out of the amended provisions follow suit. However, the converse may also be true; if a majority of journals allow the change, it might encourage more to follow suit.
