First let me remind everyone that the vast majority of open access journals do NOT charge article processing fees. Also, open access publishing is only one of the two major approaches to making our work open access, along with open access archiving.
The purpose of this forthcoming research project is to track developments of OA article processing fees, noting any trend toward competition or unwarranted increases (similar to the tracking of serials prices in the annual Library Journal report).
