Further to Bill Hughes' trenchant observations, I'd add that the reduction in cost and effort it takes to start a journal is not all to the good. It encourages vanity publications, half-hearted endeavors, and other projects that are likely to add clutter rather than clarity to the scholarly communication picture.
