Business Models Framework

Elicit Journal of Economics and Management Studies (EJEMS), under the management of Elicit Publishing Limited, operates on an open access business model designed to ensure long-term financial sustainability while maintaining free access to scholarly content for the global academic community. This framework integrates diversified revenue streams, cost-efficient operational strategies, and strategic reinvestments that align with Elicit Publishing mission to advance knowledge in education, teaching, learning, and interdisciplinary research connected to educational practices.

The model upholds Elicit Publishing social responsibility by ensuring that financial considerations never compromise editorial independence, research integrity, or worldwide accessibility. EJEMS recognizes that journals within the Elicit Publishing portfolio may differ in revenue potential based on discipline, international reach, and demand. More established or high-impact titles generate greater visibility and citation potential, while emerging or niche journals play an equally essential role in serving specialized academic needs.

This portfolio approach enables cross subsidization, where stronger-performing journals support the ecosystem, ensuring that scholarly fields remain represented regardless of commercial viability. This strategy allows Elicit Publishing to maintain a balanced and inclusive publication landscape across its journals.
