革命吞噬其子女：变革性协议的定价影响
La Révolution Dévore ses Enfants: Pricing Implications of Transformative Agreements
AI总结：
本文研究变革性协议对学术出版市场的影响，证明拥有大量付费墙期刊存量的出版社可将其作为杠杆维持高收入，从而损害纯开放获取竞争者并巩固既有垄断地位。
摘要：
随着互联网的广泛普及，学术界曾设想新知识能够免费获取并快速传播。然而，大多数研究人员仍继续在传统期刊上发表论文，而非转向完全开放获取的替代方案。这维持了大型商业出版社的市场力量，这些出版社拥有数千种付费墙后的期刊。为了将这些期刊组合转变为开放获取，全球各地的研究机构一直在谈判“变革性协议”：论文以完全开放获取的方式发表，大学仅为出版付费，而不再为订阅付费。在本文中，我证明控制大量付费墙出版物的出版社可以利用这些存量作为杠杆，即使在出版数量下降的情况下也能确保高收入。由此，这一产业政策可能损害仅以开放获取模式出版的竞争对手。这可能损害竞争，并延续现有主导者的地位。
英文摘要：
With the widespread dissemination of the internet, academia envisioned free availability and rapid dissemination of new knowledge. However, most researchers continued publishing in established journals instead of switching to fully open-access alternatives. That preserved the market power of the large commercial publishing houses owning thousands of journals behind paywalls. To turn these portfolios into open access, research institutions around the globe have been negotiating `transformative agreements:' Papers are published fully open access, and universities pay only for the publication but not for subscriptions any longer. In this paper, I demonstrate that publishers controlling a large stock of paywalled publications can use them as leverage to ensure high revenues even with decreasing publication numbers. By that, this industrial policy may harm competitors that only publish under open access. This could harm competition and perpetuate the position of the incumbent players.
