Study Compares Open-Access and Subscription-Based Scholarly Journals

Paul Caron

AlpThe Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) yesterday released an interesting study, The Facts About Open Access: A Study of the Financial and Non-Financial Effects of Alternative Business Models for Scholarly Journals.  The study makes three conclusions:

        1. It is too early to tell whether Full Open Access is a viable business model
        2. Scholarly journal publishing is in an unprecedented state of flux
        3. Peer review and copy-editing may be less rigorous with Full Open Access journals
