学术期刊版面费问题的经济学思考

Discussion on the Publishing Dues in Science Periodicals

从经济学的角度判断学术期刊版面费收取问题。收取版面费的初衷是弥补办刊经费的不足,也是我国市场经济作用的必然产物,有其合理性。但版面费严重膨胀,也对我国学术水平提升造成更大压力。必须分门别类进行规范:国家级"精品期刊"、科技"核心期刊"应财政全额经费办刊,杜绝一切名目收费现象;其他学术期刊可部分财政投资+全国统一收费标准(不能超过100元/A4版)。并建立健全相应的法律、制度:严格"精品期刊"、"核心期刊"全额财政投入制度;以法保护作者监督制;弱化学术水平"量化"考量,减少期刊"收费稿"。
