Donald P. Robin, J. Tylee Wilson Professor of Business Ethics, is the first Calloway professor to publish in an Open Access journal. His article, “Toward an Applied Meaning for Ethics in Business,” has been accepted in The Journal of Business Ethics, a hybrid Open Access journal published by Springer.

Academic libraries in general, and the Wake Forest University Libraries in particular, strongly support the Open Access publishing movement because it promises relief from rapidly escalating subscription prices. Open Access journals generally charge authors a publishing fee and freely offer all their articles to the public. Hybrid Open Access journals combine features of Open Access and traditional subscription-based journals. Hybrid journals make articles publicly available if authors pay an Open Access fee; otherwise the articles are available only to paid subscribers.

To encourage faculty to publish in Open Access journals, the ZSR Library and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs provide funding to help cover authors’ Open Access publishing fees. Under the current agreement, the costs are split three ways among the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, ZSR, and the author’s home department.
