Speaking of ‘Gold’ Open Access: I have long wondered why libraries should contribute to the publication costs that arise from SCOAP3’s GOLD open access … especially since high energy physicists have a very long history of freely providing access to their work, historically through paper preprin

[GOAL] Re: The negative consequences of the gold Open Access model

Indeed, the majority of open access journals, 64% of the journals listed in DOAJ as of today, do not have article processing charges. Details can be found through a DOAJ Advanced Search, expanding the Publication Charges section which reveals that of the 10,050 journals listed in DOAJ: No charg

[GOAL] Re: The negative consequences of the gold Open Access model

This isn’t especially new, at least in some fields (e.g. economics). Here’s a short report I did for Knowledge Exchange a few years back that has some examples: http://www.knowledge-exchange.info/Default.aspx?ID=413 There’s actually a respectable case for splitting charges in submission and pub

I assume what you are referring to, is what is often called submission fees. This is treated in this report http://www.knowledge-exchange.info/Files/Filer/downloads/Open%20Access/KE_Submission_fees_Short_Report_2010-11-25.pdf Both OA and TA journals use this, some OA journals are listed in a tabl

Hi all, I am passing on a question from a library in Australia: "I have recently become aware that some publishers and journals are charging authors a non-refundable fee to have their articles peer reviewed that is separate from the article processing charge. I hadn't heard about this until o
