A Typology of Academic Journals

Dr Casey Brienza’s latest article, titled ‘Activism, Legitimation, or Record: Towards a New Tripartite Typology of Academic Journals’, has just been published in the January 2015 issue of Journal of Scholarly Publishing. The article aims to develop a systematic typology of academic journals based on their intended social purpose, both within and beyond the academy and explore the implications of these findings for the symbiotic relationship between the academy and scholarly publishing.
