italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
On the cost of some Italian academic journals
(Apologies for cross-posting)
Dear colleagues,
I’d like to bring to your attention the article published by Claudio Giunta yesterday on the “Domenicale” of the Italian newspaper “Il Sole 24 Ore” about the outrageous costs of some Italian academic journals.
The article is now accessible online on Giunta’s personal website:
http://www.claudiogiunta.it/2012/04/la-cultura-che-fattura-ancora-sul-costo-esorbitante-delle-riviste-accademiche/
Since many of these journals are of extreme interest to our studies, and – as Giunta points out – the debate on journals’ costs is vibrant also in the Anglo-Saxon academic world, I think it is worth supporting the cause of an open and frank discussion.
With my best regards,
Anna Pegoretti
