Economic Perspectives on the Future of Academic Publishing
In this special issue of "Managerial and Decision Economics" we collect eight papers from 16 authors from nine countries (Belgium, Canada, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA)) analyzing the future of academic publishing from an economics perspective, dealing with (A) academic publishing and measurement of academic performance, (B) the comparison of the open versus closed access publishing regime from a social welfare perspective and (C) recent policy attempts towards the future of academic publishing in the digital world.
