Enligt Libris prenumerar 31 bibliotek på tidskriften Journal of Political
Philosophy vilket kan vara en anledning
att läsa nedanstående nämnda artikel i Daily Nous. En annan anledning kan
vara den rådande open access
filosofin. Ni vet den att man betalar Article Processing Charges (APC) för
att få artikeln publicerad fritt tillgänglig.
Baksidan är naturligtvis att förlagen vill maximera antal artiklar enligt
ekonomins lagar om vinst.
Nu skriver Daily Nous att
Robert Goodin, the founding and longtime editor of the Journal of Political
Philosophy, has been removed from his
position at the journal by its publisher, Wiley.
vilket ledde till att
Goodin wrote to the associate editors and editorial board informing them of
his firing, and in response many have
submitted their resignations, including associate editors Sally Haslanger,
Philip Pettit, Anne Phillips, and Amia
Srinivasan, and editorial board members Kwame Anthony Appiah, Jane
Mansbridge, Jeff McMahan, and others.
Anna Stilz (Princeton), a member of the Journal of Political Philosophy
editorial board and editor-in-chief of
Philosophy & Public Affairs, shared parts of an email she sent to fellow
editorial board members.

*Wiley is not asking that we consider publishing a few more pieces that
fall at the borderline and are tough judgment calls. They are asking that
we increase the number of articles we publish by a factor of 10, and that
we continue increasing that number year after year. This conflicts with the
role of journals in our profession, which is to curate a body of
well-vetted, high quality work for an audience, to provide feedback that
improves people’s arguments, and to serve as a signalling device that
validates the importance of someone’s work when they go up for tenure and
promotion. If the top political philosophy journals now have to publish 50
articles per year, 100 the next year, 200 the next, and so on infinitely,
it no longer means anything to have your article published in these
journals. And the role of the Editorial team also becomes superfluous–if
the aim is to rush as many articles to publication as possible, why provide
careful comments?*

Vad är nu lärdomen av detta? Kvalité ersätts med pengar kanske?
