Do the article and scientific journals have a future? | SciELO in Perspective

lkfitz's bookmarks 2018-08-21

Summary:

"Attached as they are to an editorial model of the printed world, journals fear that the open access process that has emerged with the Internet will mean their end. Why does this happen in view of the fact that one might think that an institution that finances a scientific journal should seek maximum impact, i.e., try to disseminate it as broadly as possible so it can be widely used and cited? Since being digital and open is precisely a proven way to achieve these objectives, why should the financier of a scientific journal be concerned about the possible universal opening of its access, even if it means entering another dynamic, losing their (often very few) real subscribers?"
