What's "brand new" about the model? With "old" journals, scientists do the real work (writing articles, and reviewing articles) for free. With "new" journals, scientists still do that work for free. The *only* difference is that the "new" journals cut out the useless, parasitic middlemen who run academic publishing companies. If there's another difference, you haven't demonstrated it yet.
