    Couldn’t science papers be hosted on a git-platform for review? Instead of costly publishing and the reviewers have to buy it then…

      There are open access platform that is more reputable than git, like arxiv or hal.

      Plus most conferences, at least in my field, support open access. But unfortunately for some of them, you do need to pay a fee in order to get the article to be open-access.

      The prestige of the conference/journal is still the best way to get your article known, so that others can review and built upon your work, as of now.
