Regarding the editorial board changes at RoSE
The Association for Social Economics (ASE) is announcing a change in its editorial board for one of its journals, the Review of Social Economy (RoSE).
Following our recent Executive Council meeting and vote, ASE has moved forward with continuing its longstanding partnership with Taylor & Francis (T&F), a publisher that has been committed to heterodox economics books and journals for decades. RoSE publishes on a hybrid basis, meaning that it publishes both subscription and open access content. This means that it is an accessible publishing venue for all authors, whether or not they have access to open access funding. .
The editors of RoSE wanted to move to another press for complete open access, a decision that would have major implications for ASE’s revenues and operations. After much investigation and discussion, ASE Executive Council voted in favor of renewing its contract with T&F to ensure it could continue its activities in line with the Association’s mission. Immediately after this decision, the editors of RoSE resigned before the end of their contract. While the editors of RoSE insist that the journal is moving towards a model with author publishing fees (APFs), not subscriptions, this is not the case. The journal will continue to publish on a hybrid model as explained above.
We are grateful to all current and former editorial board members for their service to RoSE. Upcoming editorial board changes will build on their contributions while creating new opportunities for scholars from a wider range of geographical, methodological, and institutional backgrounds to participate in the journal’s future. ASE continues to support its mission of making knowledge and scholarly work in social economics available to everyone around the world. ASE provides free membership to scholars in least developed countries and this allows access to journal content for both RoSE and the Forum for Social Economics, also published by ASE. T&F supports initiatives to make content in RoSE free to access for readers in the least developed countries, including via its STAR initiative (https://authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/publishing-your-research/choosing-a-journal/supporting-authors-in-emerging-regions/).
