A major math journal flips to Fair Open Access | Alex Holcombe's blog

Summary:

"Akihiro Munemasa, Christos Athanasiadis, Hugh Thomas, and Hendrik van Maldeghem share the chief editor role at a journal that’s like many others across mathematics and the sciences. The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics is a subscription journal published by one of the big, highly-profitable publishers (Springer Nature). But they haven’t been happy with the fees Springer charges for people to read their articles.

At the end of the year, all four will resign, as will nearly everyone on the editorial board. They’re starting a new, open access, free-to-authors journal. The new journal is called Algebraic Combinatorics and will follow Fair Open Access principles."
