Paid journals had a point 20 years ago, but not anymore. Most studies are funded by the tax-payers or collaboration with the industries. The authors are not paid. The reviewers are not paid either. Finally the publisher comes along and claims royalty. It doesn't make sense.
- pfortuny 8y agoThe payment is in cv credentials. It is a great payment, by thr way.
- otherme1 8y agoJust a reminder that authors have to pay around $800-1000 to publish an article. Then readers have to pay to read the article. And you have to submit your work edited and almost ready to print, it's not like they are doing heavy work there either. I remember one time I submitted an image as SVG but they wanted EPS and asked me to do the conversion. Yes, that oneliner with "convert" was enough.
