To Read and be Read: When monopolists control access to prestige
(2019)
Abstract
Publishing in an established academic journal of high prestige gives high rewards in terms of salary and promotion for authors and prestige for their universities. Established for-profit journals with strong reputations can expect to collect
large rents for these reputations in terms either of subscription prices for gated articles or author publication fees for open access articles. This paper takes a look at this situation.
