This is pretty much a standard model in academic publishing
- winddude 2y agoTrue, and unfortunate, other than arxiv, and openreview
- kkylin 2y agoExcept for open access models where someone -- usually the authors, but sometimes universities or other institutions -- pay so that the article can be accessed by the public for free. (Authors usually don't pay out of pocket but using grants, and OA journals usually offer some sort of "financial aid" for those unable to pay.)
- xp84 2y agoWhat a waste of money to pay these parasites to let the public see your research. It’s just as much a waste of grant money too. Whether that comes from or from a nonprofit, padding the pockets of some publishing company gatekeeper is in no way what anyone should expect their money to go toward.
