Flipping Journals to Open: Rethinking Publishing Infrastructure

Benedikt Fecher and Gert Wagner

No 1533, Discussion Papers of DIW Berlin from DIW Berlin, German Institute for Economic Research

Abstract: Open access means that research outputs, such as articles and data, are free of restrictions on access and free of restrictions on use. In the light of recent market developments in academic publishing, we argue in this essay that the discourse about open access must include a discussion about research infrastructure and innovation in academic publishing.
