History edit
The journal was established in 2018, when the editorial board of the Springer Science+Business Media Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics resigned to protest the publisher's high prices and limited accessibility.[1][2] The board criticized Springer for "double-dipping", that is, charging large subscription fees to libraries in addition to high fees for authors who wished to make their publications open access.[3]
Operations edit
Algebraic Combinatorics operates on a diamond open access model, in which publication costs are underwritten by voluntary contributions from universities, foundations, and other organizations. Authors do not pay submission fees or article processing charges. All content is published under a Creative Commons license.[4]
The journal's editors-in-chief are Akihiro Munemasa (Tohoku University), Satoshi Murai (Waseda University), Hendrik Van Maldeghem (Ghent University), Brendon Rhoades (University of California, San Diego), and David Speyer (University of Michigan).[5]
Abstracting and indexing edit
The journal is abstracted and indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals, Scopus, Mathematical Reviews, and Zentralblatt Math.[6]
