Recently, I studied an article that has a lot computational and physical errors, but this journal is an "open access" journal. Thus, I wrote a comment paper on this article. Do I must pay publication fee for this comment?
Hi,Jaafar. I think open access means that the readers don't have to purchase the articles. I do not think it has anything to do with the authors. You still need to check their publishing policies since writing comments makes you an author.
Hello,
Zhichu, in fact some (most?) open access journals do charge processing fees to the author's institution.
Jaafar, it's an interesting question, I think the easiest way to find the answer tis to write to the editor.
Ok, Thank you dear Luc,
You are true. I will write letter for editor.
Since the comment *is* a publication in the journal, it would seem reasonable that fees would be asked for, just as would be the case for any publication in the journal-open access means the authors pay the fees, so that readers don't have to.
