This paper aims at analysing the perception and attitudes of editors of Spanish scientific journals about some of the most important advances in scholarly communication linked with ICTs and the Internet: the advantages and disadvantages attributed to open access, open peer review and alt-metrics. Fifteen in-depth interviews have been conducted with the people in charge of Spanish journals indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus, attending to a fair representation of all areas of knowledge. Findings show a wide negative perception of all these tools, due to the fear of a loss of reputation for the journal which may use these innovations. Only open access is positively perceived.
