“Not Just Monetary: Arts and Humanities Scholars’ Perspectives on the Costs of Open Access Publishing”


Where previous studies have confirmed that OA is not a factor in where arts and humanities scholars disseminate their work, this study documented perspectives on how OA competes with publishing to advance one’s career. Although OA venues are slowly gaining acceptance, prestige remains the most important consideration for academics. OA publication remains sidelined and of interest to those working in specific topical areas, conducting SoTL or DH work, or in fields with respected diamond OA venues. Participants confirmed that they do not have the money to fund OA publishing charges; additionally, they described a variety of other costs that OA publishing incurs, taking a toll on reputation, time, equity, and opportunity.
