When the Journals were launched more than a decade ago in 2012, IZA was a pioneer in establishing the principles of open access publishing in economics to increase the reach of new research findings. The intended goal of promoting the culture of open access publishing has been reached, as evidenced by the fact that a number of other journals have now adopted this option.
