"getting publications"? What does that even mean? You think academia has to be convinced to pump out papers?
If the standard is an open-access site similar to arXiv, that's where the papers would go. No effort needs to be spent there, and there would be plenty of motivation for people and institutions to meet its modest funding requirements without a massive drive.
The primary costs are support/technical staff and equipment, that would not change.
