[CoDeP] R: the Bentham case

[GORI STEFANO (RI)]

Kit,
thanks for underlining this very important point on the archive code. It is an issue we will need to take into account also for other publishers with mainly non Economics related journals.
Whatever we decide on Bentham will create a precedent hence we need to define a rule to apply also to others.
Best regards
Stefano Gori

Oggetto: Re: [CoDeP] the Bentham case

Jorge,

Thanks, but please note that this would be a toothless distinction. Once we grant a RePEc archive code, the publisher is free to create as many series within that archive as they choose. We have no way of accepting some series and not others; the only recourse would be to cancel the archive code. So I would respectfully request the committee to consider the publisher in a yes/no fashion: should this publisher be granted a RePEc archive code, to do with as they wish?

Thanks
Kit Baum

  Well there is two brands, "Bentham" and "Bentham Open". I had
  started with Bentham and found this to be the only. I checked the
  journal list of "Bentham Open" right now. They have nothing that
  one would call economics.

  I suspect that following our investigation, we can recommend Kit to
  tell them they can open an archive for "Technology Transfer and
  Entrepreneurship" (TTE) papers. I doubt RePEc should take other
  journals because of the subject, but that is Kit's decision at
  this time. Let this recommondation goes into force unless we read
  some objects by a committee member within 24 hours, say by
  Wednesday Dec 14 02:00 UTC 2016.



  Cheers,
