Reviews of Economic Literature, 2025, vol. 1

Abstract: We envision Reviews of Economic Literature as part of a movement to restore scholarly publishing to the priorities and values of the academic community. We examine the origins and development of open access publishing, highlighting how its implementation by for-profit publishers has led to unintended consequences that do not serve researchers, academic institutions, policy makers, and society generally. As a solution, we advocate for diamond open access journals, which are free for readers and authors, ensuring immediate, paywall-free access to content while allowing authors to publish without fees.
