Definition[edit]

I've not checked the literature to see if there is an established definition. I suspect that there isn't any well-tested one but Piwowar and Priem will come up with one after their investigation with Our Research society and nonprofit journals (Q73539606). I think what we can check for now is that a journal be the main designated/recommended journal for that society, whatever the arrangement. Nemo 07:57, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

John Dove just wrote a relevant observation:

We also tried to find differences between society publishers who've outsourced their publishing operations with society publishers who do their publishing inhouse. We discovered, probably no surprise to this audience, that there are many shades of what is outsourced--so no clear demarcation as to what constitutes a society that does its own publishing and which outsource everything including pricing and marketing decisions. So we did turn our attention to for-profits vs. non-profits.
