Springer launches first open access journal in Religion: International Journal of Dharma Studies http://oaopenaccess.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/springer-launches-first-open-access-journal-in-religion-international-journal-of-dharma-studies/ It was almost two years ago that I received an email from the then publishing editor in Religion and Philosophy at Springer Science+Business Media expressing an interest by the publisher to launch open access journals in Religion. I wrote about the conversation I had with the editor in response to that email back in March 2012. At that point Springer had no open access journals in Religious Studies, although it published seven subscription-based journals in the discipline. This has now changed. At the end of 2013 the International Journal of Dharma Studies (ISSN 2196-8802) launched on the SpringerOpen platform.
