New OA Pledge: No free view? No review!

Boycotting only the review function seems like it might be a nice way for folks to thread the needle of divesting from closed venues without as much career risk as an author boycott or a total boycott. To the extent that scholars feel like reviewing is high cost and low reward - it takes a lot of time but doesn’t really carry much cachet compared to authoring - this could be a good way to drain resources from closed venues without a stiff penalty to faculty. Scholars don’t have nearly as much to lose from this boycott, but have a lot to gain in terms of free time and living their principles.
