History
The concept was first proposed a few years ago. Thomas Walker first suggested that authors could purchase extra visibility at a price. The first journal recognized as using this plan was Walker's own Florida Journal of Entomology; it was later extended to the other publications of the Entomological Society of America. The idea was later refined by David Prosser in 2003 in the journal Learned Publishing.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
