it is observed that journals levy publication charges for publication of an original article. the number of paid journals is increasing day by day. the higher rate of rejection in unpaid journals limits the scope of publication of the outcome of academic research. it seems the scope of publication of academic research is narrowing day by day due to commercialization.
I have the same observation Mohammad Nawab, free journals now focus on novel findings more than before.
The scope of publishing outcome of academic research papers is not narrowing at the moment. Instead, at least hundreds to thousands of academic research papers are published every month worldwide.
The growing diversity and emergence of numerous disciplines/research areas have increased the rates of research and research publications

The scope for publication is increasing day by day. Constant research have given birth to many fields. Each field is multiplying into number of sub fields which in turn grow into major fields. Research is still required to understand several unknown phenomenon. One billion years is insufficient to comprehend our own planet earth and the universe. On the other hand, publication is set as the yardstick to measure the performance of people working in academic domain. As long as universities exists, publication will never cease to exist.
It is true that open access policy is a real threat to discourage and demotivate researchers from developing and under developing countries. In the event that all the journals become open access one day, there will be institutes which can afford the open access fee in exchange of subscription fee. Rest of the world will be eliminated from the game of research.
