The Review of Economic Theory (RET) will be the first journal launched by the Electronic Society for Social Scientists (ELSSS), a non-profit organization devoted to free and affordable scholarly journals, especially in the field of economics. The RET will let authors retain copyright and be available free of charge to all non-profit institutions in developing countries. The subscription price to the high-income countries will not exceed ELSSS's break-even costs. The journal itself will launch this March. Yesterday SPARC announced its partnership with RET.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
