- chalst 5y ago€2900 is very high, higher than the Royal Society's open access plan. Which journal is it?
- karxxm 5y agoI am very sorry, I mixed it up with another paper.. The publisher where the fee came up was Wiley, for the Computer Graphics Forum. It’s a super duper golden access.
- krull10 5y agoThese fees are highly journal and publisher dependent. Check out Nature journals; I believe last I looked Nature Communications was $5500!
- eurasiantiger 5y agoWe need to come up with a way to disrupt this extortion and put these jokers out of the money. Note that I deliberately avoid calling the publishing racket a business, because these criminals-in-spirit and their empires produce nothing of value: they are lining their pockets by exploiting other people’s work, while those being exploited have no choice but to play into the publishers’ hand; enabling the publishers’ power brokerage further their encroachment on public information by gifting them the most precious fruits of their labor.
