In this case, it seems close to a prisoner's dilemma. That would make the researchers the prisoners and Springer the jailer in this analogy. All researchers are incentivized to defect to the jailer(s)/private publishers until they know that there is a critical mass of prisoners willing to make a prison break/switch to open access journals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner's_dilemma |
