Nuevos modelos de negocio para las publicaciones de la AEA

 La American Economic Association cambia su modelo:

The AEA will phase out print journals over the next year by no longer offering print subscriptions for members and institutional subscribers as of February 1. Existing print subscriptions for members and institutions will be honored through January 2025 but will be unable to be renewed. 

In line with most other leading journals, the AEA will end payments to referees for reviews invited on or after February 1. 

Collecting publication fees from those benefiting most from the AEA publications program distributes costs of the program more equitably than raising submission fees. With this in mind, the AEA will implement a page charge of $15 per typeset page for published articles submitted after February 1, to be paid by authors, and with provisions to waive the fee under certain circumstances. This page charge will not apply to formally solicited manuscripts (such as Presidential addresses) and will not include articles in the Journal of Economic Literature, Journal of Economic Perspectives, or AEA Papers and Proceedings. 

Lo de no publicar en papel parece de cajón. Pero lo de no pagar a los revisores, tengo curiosidad por ver qué resultados tendrá.
