So... less than useful when choosing whether to publish in a particular journal then, if this is important to you.

- phalangion 11y agoYou can view the journal's open access options before you submit your paper for review. I just did this for a paper at an Elsevier journal. If the paper is accepted, the authors can choose to publish it open access, which requires paying the "open access charge" to the publisher. Once paid, though, the journal is available for free from their website.
