Equity for Open-Access Journal Publishing

Author

  • Stuart M. Shieber

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.
