Abstract

The economics of science and scientific journals is complex. In order to better understand the trajectories of evolution towards open publications, this article proposes to describe their "economic model" and what the Internet has changed. After a quick reminder of the issues raised by open access, we propose to study the scientific journal as a « knowledge common ». This provides a framework to structure the goals of each actor of a journal, and to describe the different existing types of scientific journals, according to the format-readership adequacy on the one hand and to scientific validation framework on the other hand. According to the models, the open access format may vary, but the global stakes seem more at the level of access to article databases (as open data), than on the evolution of the functioning of scientific journals.
