What's more, such "creative" business models force library administrators to try to quantify abstractions like the value of information. Information, however, is context dependent. The difference of opinion on a paper's importance could range from "meaningless" to a critical insight for unraveling a disease pathway.   At the end of the day, an all-inclusive "Big Deal" bundle may be easiest – if funds are available. When cost limits access, however, researchers may rely on e-mailed PDFs from helpful colleagues at better-equipped campuses. Another solution, when access is out of reach or publication slow (e.g. a year from initial acceptance to publication is common for some Statistics journals), is pre-print repositories like \href{arxiv.org}{arXiv}. Unfortunately, the articles aren't peer-reviewed, a reason big publishers can charge so much.\\  This is also a reason we think researchers (and journals!) might want to try their own \href{https://www.authorea.com/20627-open-review}{pilot study} of Authorea-as-interactive-repository or \href{https://www.authorea.com/10024-authorea-as-submission-platform}{submission platform}.
