I have often read about the value provided by publishers in both the editing and review of academic articles. But it may be that these aren't actually core to the publication industry. "Some scholarly publishers have already outsourced operations like copy editing and printing. Now, 15 journals are outsourcing something central to science itself: the peer-review process." They will instead accept without further review articles offered by a non-profit "peer community" organization. So what is core to publishers? Well, subscriptions, of course.
