The Journal of Democratic Theory is a new web-based journal which is financing free distribution by charging authors a fee. It will be interesting to see how scholars react -- though the charging of subsidies to the authors of books by academic presses is fairly common.
The first issue includes a quite interesting interview with the co-editor of The Secret History of Democracy, Benjamin Isakhan, both as a PDF and as a podcast. I appreciated the podcast option -- nice to hear Benjamin's voice after only seeing his words.
Dear Muhlberger (if I may),
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jean-Paul Gagnon. I am the editor of the JDT and would like to thank you for visiting our website. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the interview with Ben and look forward to any more comments you may have about this issue or our forthcoming ones.
Best,
Jean-Paul
