In the Dark

As (both) my regular readers know I have a strong interest in innovative publication methods, I thought I would share a very intriguing one I have just found out about:

I think this approach might help us at the Open Journal of Astrophysics cut our running costs still further. Gold Open Access journals have an incentive to publish as many papers as possible to increase revenue from Article Processing Charges, whereas we Diamond journals have an incentive in the opposite direction. This journal would appear to take that to its logical conclusion.

I think I’ll apply to be on the Editorial Board. It must be a very prestigious to bea member of the Editorial Board of a journal with such a high rejection rate!
