Many journals have come and gone, and I believe that it is very important to convince authors and funding agencies that the journal will last, especially if the site will serve as a data depository. One option would be for an existing society to develop the journal. My personal preference would be a joint effort among various societies, organizations, and NGOs. I am willing to dedicate much of my time to this effort, but the guidance and support for fundraising from different groups will be invaluable.
I strongly believe that the journal should be open access, but this eliminates one source of income. Another source of income could be page charges. The e-journals PLOS Biology and Ecology and Society are charging each article $US 2500 and $US 500, respectively. I think the journal should establish page charges, but if they are too high this will create another barrier for publishing. Furthermore, I can imagine that the page charges for many articles will be waived. So, where will the funds come from? The options that come to mind are: grants from foundations and government agencies and advertising. Personally, I do not find Google Ads offensive, but I do not have any idea of how much money they can generate. This is a topic I will investigate during the next week.

Hi Mitch:
Thanks for the time you already have put into this great idea. I am all for it.
After spending 3 years at the Moore Foundation, I feel that the first tool for fundraising is to have a good "Business Plan". If we have such a tool, it is going to be much easier to get funding as people and institutions will see that there is a serious and well thought out plan to make this happen. With this tool at hand, we would know exactly what is really needed to get this journal off the ground and guarantee its survivorship.
I will get back to you all with some suggestions of academic institutions that can help us getting this Business Plan prepared at very little or no cost.
Another issue that requires immediate attention is what the institutions behind this effort are. As I mentioned a while ago, we need to find an institution where we can land- and run- this journal.
Saludos,
Jaime Cavelier
I think that there are two fundamental elements to the journal's birth and (initial) survivorship: 1) a motivated editor, with the proper academic credentials, and the willingness to take the project forward; 2) long-term financial/institutional commitment.
Mitch's proposal already covers element one, as he has expressed interest in leading the creation of the journal.
I agree with Jaime that we need a business plan, but we also need at least one institution to commit to cover the costs of operation of the editorial office.
I believe that page charging should not be discarded as a fund raising option. In many places (mainly but not exclusively US and Europe) there are ample possibilities for faculty members and alike to obtain funding for publication (even I, in a small public university in Brazil, have the chance to apply -and obtain- publication funds). However, there should be different rates taking into account the different economical backgrounds coming from all over the world, the academic status of the corresponding author (obviously students have less chance of obtaining publication funds than faculty members), and there should exist the possibility to apply for free publication, given a sound justification for it.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
