I think it is not good news for a faithful author of US.
The journal quality will descend or not?
The IF will descend or not?
It may be beneficial to scientists working in European countries as they get funding for publishing in open access journals, but what about researchers working in Asian, Africa, and South American countries? even they hardly get funding for research. Being working in India, I do not support open access policy.

Well, surprising info (but unfortunately true)!
"The APC for Ultrasonics Sonochemistry will be USD 2500 (excluding taxes) "
It will limit to contributions to groups/universities that have funds for APC.
Not a good idea at all.

Yes, definitely. Particular, in India research students are not able to pay publishing charges. Open access policy creating such negative impact on researchers publication ethics like they feel as it is paid journal etc.
