Open Access International Journal of Wine Research

By mthomas

I recently came across this open access online peer reviewed journal from Dove. Link is here. There are a few papers that immediately struck me as potentially interesting;

Wine rating scales: Assessing their utility for producers, consumers, and oenologic researchers

Wine consumers’ environmental knowledge and attitudes: Influence on willingness to purchase

There is also a ‘Guest Editorial’ on Resveratrol-enhanced wine

I hope to review them soon as it is increasingly clear is that this form of journal publishing is the future. It is also democratizing in terms of free access and might be expected to increase citations and the amount of new research. What remains to be seen is if,and how, this influences the quality of empirical academic studies available.
