Abstract
More and more academic journals adopt an open-access policy, by which articles are accessible free of charge through the Internet, while publication costs are recovered through author fees. We study the consequences of this policy on the journal’s quality standards. We show that if the journal is run by a not-for-profit association that aims at maximizing the utility of its members, the move to open-access may result in a decrease of quality standards below the socially efficient level.
