A move to open access research publishing will need, I suggest, a well 
resourced information campaign, and a well staffed anti-fraud unit. 
Otherwise we are likely to see fraud on a scale similar to that 
resulting from the poorly managed Australian VET FEE-HELP scheme.

Academics are not the most worldly of people and it is likely they will 
make some stupid decisions when it comes to paying for publication. Also 
it is likely that publishers, and brokers, will attempt to game the new 
system.
