Comment on Cardiology Journal’s Decline is Heartbreaking by Bernd

Each accepted paper brings 1200 USD. Start counting from 01. June 2014, there are 20 pages with 10 articles each until today. This journal generated an income of 240.000,- USD in 6 weeks! As the owner of the journal I would think, well, academic standards and procedures and all that are all very nice, but with a net salary of, lets say, 100.000,- USD per month, who really cares (even if the business concept is not sustainable)……….. By the way, have you checked the weather conditions at T&C? Sunshine, 28°C. Thinking it all over, I feel like quitting my scientific carrier and become a publisher.
