Researchers around the world are doing their best to perform experiments but when they want to publish their research work in gold open access journals, APC will stand infront of them like a wall. What are the possible solutions to overcome this problem?
I'm very interested but not knowledgeable in this area.
What is a gold open access journal?
What is APC?
Thanks,
Steve
The APC (article processing chargues is more than a wall, it is an impenetrable wall) and is a very current problem, especially for researchers from countries with economic difficulties such as Argentina. The reality today is very different from what journals conceive, I don't know how to get a waiwer from the APC. I wish I could have an answer!
I've seen very reputable publishers charge over $2000 for open access to an article or book chapter. Is this what you are referring too?
Gold OA makes the final version of the article available to all, immediately after publication, free and forever. Author hold copyright for the paper and most obstacles to permission are eliminated. Gold OA papers can either be published in fully OA journals (which include OA publishing all contents) and in hybrid journals (an OA optional subscription journal which authors can choose if they like).
