Lingua editors are concerned that some libraries can no longer afford the cost of publication. The "negotiations" letters were sent Elsevier early October, citing "Change academic publishing paradigm", they presented a number of conditions. Topping the list: Lingua will become completely open access to publications and Elsevier will give the editors of the journal property.
But Elsevier rejected those proposals, and it plans to continue to publish the language with a new team.
Lingua is a hybrid open access journal. Authors have the option of paying US $ 1,800 publications compensation to their articles open access, or free to readers. Editors wanted to make all articles open access, lower compensation announcement at about US $ 430, and some authors retain the copyright to their articles.
Elsevier said in a statement on Wednesday. "We had made open-access journal, and only on the proposed price, it would bring more magazine is not sustainable," said a statement, signed by Tom Ruler, the company led the global corporate relations.
As for the proposal to Elsevier Lingua before my editors and allow them to shift to a new magazine publisher after six months in advance, Ruler wrote: "Elsevier can not agree to that, as we have invested a significant amount of time, money, and other resources in the renowned magazine in its field. We Lingua founded 66 years ago. "
But Johan Orrick, Lingua executive editor, said the magazine was originally published by a company called North Holland, which bought the magazine Elsevier in 1990.
Editors, who agreed to stay in Lingua to December, they plan to start their own magazine, a move seen as part of a broader shift towards open access publishing.
