There is now a very popular trend for journals to offer the open access (OA) option. So, most journals now are transformative journals, that is they offer the traditional no-fee publication as well as the expensive OA publication option. I wonder what will happen in the future? Will all journals soon switch to the OA model? Will all authors be required to pay a fee such as $1000? Do the fees vary by country? It seems that publication will soon become something that only well-funded authors can afford. So, then, what will be the options for those authors who are not well-funded?
