Towards a Fair Practice of Academic Publishing: Innovative Practices for Authors and the Audience in the Field of EthnoGeoPolitics and beyond

Abstract

The current established practice of academic publishing, and the policies which many publishers and even universities implement, are not very fair to authors; the altmetric and bibliometric systems of performance do not make the situation any better. As a non-profit organisation, the Association for the Study of EthnoGeoPolitics (EGP) opposes the exploitation of scholars and at the same time wants to encourage and facilitate academic research and review papers as well as analytical articles, in many languages, freely available to a broad audience.
