Summary:

Abstract:  There has been a push for open access journals for more than a decade in a higher education and research environment in which the ‘publish or perish’ syndrome is as dominant as ever. This article examines the success, or otherwise, of open access schemes in light of the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative. It compares the Australian Research Council draft list of journals, which will be used to rank academic output under the ERA initiative, with the Directory of Open Access Journals. If academic recognition is linked to journal prestige, how do open access journals rate in this context?
