| Abstract: | Open Access Journals have become more and more popular as a publishing model for academic scholars. There are already more than 3,500 of them listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). To establish these journals as a relevant and trustful source for validated research results (and as an alternative to licensed publisher-based journals), peer review is a necessary requisite. The Internet offers new ways to organize the peer review process. It allows for example comments and ratings from readers of freely available papers and articles. So far only a few Journals use these Open Assessment methods. The presentation will showcase “Economics - The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal” as one prime example. |
