21 Rev. Econ. Rsch. on Copyright Issues 1 (2024)

handle is hein.journals/rvwoecrh21 and id is 1 raw text is: Review of Economic Research on Copyright Issues, 2024, vol. 21, pp. 1-6 A TWENTY-ONE YEAR REPORT OF PUBLISHING IN RERCI RICHARD WATT ABSTRACT. This article is a stock-take of the first 21 years of RERCI's publishing history. It provides a holistic picture of the history of the journal since it was launched in 2004, and up to the end of 2024. All of the articles published in RERCI are freely downloadable by any interested reader as pdf files from the SERCI website (see http://www.serci.org/rerci.php). 1. INTRODUCTION The journal The Review of Economic Research on Copyright Issues, or RERCI for short, was launched in 2004 as the principle publishing outlet for articles dealing with any issues related to copyright and applying or critically engaging with economic analysis or related empirical methods.' The journal is owned and managed by the Society for Economic Research on Copyright Issues (SERCI for short), and is designed to be a neutral platform of debate among economists and any other academic writing on the issue of copyright from an economic perspective. As such, it is a niche journal, and publishes far fewer articles than other more general journals. For the same reason, the articles published in RERCI are to be expected to generate fewer cites than a general topic journal. However, that said, as I will show in this report, the papers that have appeared in RERCI over the first 21 years of operation have indeed had some serious impact, both from scholarly academics and other related professionals, and have been noticed by readers across the globe. 'Economic analysis is fairly loosely defined. Some articles are squarely based on economic theory, others are more on the periphery. The underlying idea is that, in order to be relevant for RERCI, an article should provide an analysis and treatment of some topic that is relevant to the concept of copyright and/or its effects, in such a way that the discussion is of interest to economists.
