Equity for Open-Access Journal Publishing

Stuart M. Shieber ()

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Open access journal publishing is currently at a systematic disadvantage relative to the traditional subscription-based journal publishing. A simple, cost effective remedy to this inequity is proposed that would put open access publishing on a path to become a sustainable, efficient system, allowing the two journal publishing systems to compete on a more level playing field.
