Libraries can't afford them. Editors are so overloaded that editorial input into the science is now very rare. Authors feel they have to publish something three times to get heard. Exaggeration of novelty and significance is common. Readers seem overwhelmed.
Many scientists complain of being too busy to read the literature.
This is not good. The importance and integrity of published work must remain paramount. Certainly these days, with modern instrumentation and more practitioners, we are producing data at greatly accelerated rates. However, chemistry is no longer an infant science. Not all research requires full publication.
