Humanities Journals Cost Much More to Publish Than Science Periodicals

Summary:

"[Do higher costs] that mean that the scholarly associations that participated in the study reject the idea of open access? Not at all, said [William E. Davis, chairman of the committee and executive director of the American Anthropological Association]. Instead, the findings are 'pointing us away from author-pays open access' toward figuring out what other open-access models could work for humanities and social-sciences journals. That's the next step. Will learned societies that publish such journals figure out how to take that step? 'We will,' Mr. Davis said, 'because we have to.'"
