It depends on the country. In many countries funding agencies will just not give you $5K to pay for open access fees. Conferences that involve intercontinental travel are already prohibitive for many academics, by the way, and more than two people going is quite a luxury. In my university, the most normal thing to do if we get several papers at a conference is that a single person goes and presents them all, and many research groups don't do conferences in other continents (or only when they have some international coauthor that can go).
- ecesena 12y agoI totally agree, I'm just saying that often the cost for conferences is also high/comparable. Here $5k is intended for a major journal. Similarly is for conferences, I remember traveling from Italy to the US only for ACM CCS (one of the top conferences in security). For "standard" conferences the budget was "standard" :) Again, I won't repeat it enough, I'm not saying is good paying for openness.
