The Pricing of Academic Journals: A Two-Sided Market Perspective
研究了开放获取政策对电子学术期刊质量标准的影响，发现若期刊追求社会福利最大化则开放获取最优，但若追求其他目标（如读者效用、影响力或利润），开放获取会导致质量标准低于社会最优水平。
More and more academic journals are adopting an open access policy by which articles are accessible free of charge, while publication costs are recovered through author fees. We study the consequences of this open access policy on the quality standard of an electronic academic journal. If the journal's objective were to maximize social welfare, open access would be optimal. However, we show that if the journal has a different objective (such as maximizing readers' utility, the impact of the journal, or its profit), open access tends to induce it to choose a quality standard below the socially efficient level.
