Une analyse révèle que les critères budgétaires ne suffisent pas à déterminer ce qui assure le bon fonctionnement d’une revue savante.

Ces dernières années, diverses études ont été conduites pour évaluer l’impact financier du libre accès sur les revues savantes, en particulier en sciences humaines et sociales, arts et lettres (SHS) ( https://www.affairesuniversitaires.ca/opinion/a-mon-avis/quest-ce-quune-revue-savante-heureuse/
