Should New Regulations be Imposed on Academic Publishing?

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This article argues, using a case study on Elsevier's business, that despite its many merits, the Open Science Movement has not succeeded in lowering the margins of for-profit academic publishing. Accordingly, regulations other than the ones suggested by the movement should be introduced to regulate this business. In conclusion, some reasons in favour of one proposal are briefly reviewed.
