WEST, THEODORE BERGSTROM and CARL T. BERGSTROM∗ Open access publishing has been proposed as one possible solution to the serials crisis—the rapidly growing subscription prices in scholarly journal publishing. How- ever, open access publishing can present economic pitfalls as well, such as excessive article processing charges. We discuss the decision that an author faces when choos- ing to submit to an open access journal. We develop an interactive tool to help authors compare among alternative open access venues and thereby get the most for their article processing charges. (JEL I2, C1, A1) I.

On one hand, the prestige con- ferred by the journal is approximately the same whether one chooses to make one’s article open, or not. On the other, open access articles in hybrid journals will probably attract more readers and possibly additional citations (see Wagner 2010 for an overview of the controversy around open access citation advantage). We should note that publishing in an open access journal is not the only way to make an article freely available. Most academic journals allow immediate posting of a final refereed copy of an author’s article where search engines can find them on the author’s own website or in a freely available institutional archive.

  • The Adoption of Open Access Journals for Publishing Management Research: a Review of the Literature and the Experience of the University of the West Indies
    International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology (IJEDICT), 2020, Vol. 16, Issue 1, pp. 126-146 The adoption of open access journals for publishing management research: A review of the literature and the experience of The University of the West Indies Haven Allahar and Ron Sookram The University of the West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago ABSTRACT The article reviews the literature in the field of academic journal publishing highlighting the phenomenon of the recent entry of Internet-driven open access journals into a field dominated by the traditional subscription journals. The article has a twofold purpose of gaining an understanding of the main features and characteristics of the open access journal system through a review of the literature; and assessing the extent of adoption of open access by researchers in the management discipline through a review of the management publications by the University of the West Indies (UWI) researchers. A sequential exploratory strategy of two phases was used. The first phase focused on the collection of secondary data on journal publishing and the second involved reviewing the publishing record of The UWI with particular reference to management research. The main finding is that open access was not fully embraced as a publishing outlet because of academic resistance derived from questions of acceptability, and the existence of a system that assigns greater recognition to the established subscription journals. The article concludes that open access journals have grown in respectability and quality and are a good option for publishing management research by authors located in developing regions, provided the operational characteristics of this mode of publishing are understood and caution in journal selection is exercised.

  • Open Access and the Humanities
    OPEN ACCESS AND THE HUMANITIES If you work in a university, you are almost certain to have heard the term ‘open access’ in the past couple of years. You may also have heard either that it is the utopian answer to all the problems of research dissemination or perhaps that it marks the beginning of an apocalyptic new era of ‘pay-to-say’ publishing. In this book, Martin Paul Eve sets out the histor- ies, contexts and controversies for open access, specifically in the humanities. Broaching practical elements alongside eco- nomic histories, open licensing, monographs and funder pol- icies, this book is a must-read for both those new to ideas about open-access scholarly communications and those with an already keen interest in the latest developments for the human- ities. This title is available as open access via Cambridge Books Online. martin paul eve is a lecturer in English at the University of Lincoln and is the author of Pynchon and Philosophy (2014) and editor of the open-access journal of Pynchon scholarship, Orbit. Eve is well known for his work on open access, which includes appearing as an expert witness before the UK House of Commons Select Committee BIS Inquiry into Open Access, being a steering-group member of the OAPEN-UK project and a member of the HEFCE Open Access Monographs Expert Reference Panel, and founding the Open Library of Humanities.
