Very little work seems to have been done on finding out how advertising actually functions as a source of financing for OA journals. A survey was carried out to explore the field, both why journals did not employ advertising, and how advertising was employed. The findings show little uptake of advertising among OA journals, and indicate that there is a lack of understanding of how advertising could best be employed.}, number={3}, journal={First Monday}, author={Frantsvåg, Jan Erik}, year={2010}, month={Mar.} }
