A careful confirmation that 70+% of OA journals charge no fees Stuart Shieber, What percentage of open-access journals charge publication fees? The Occasional Pamphlet, May 29, 2009. Excerpt:
Comment. This is important for two reasons. First, it's new confirmation that most OA journals charge no publication fees. Like Hooker's earlier study, it covers all the OA journals listed in the DOAJ. Second, it provides a Python script (omitted here) to repeat the census at any time, allowing us to watch how the number changes over time. Thanks to Stuart for writing the script and for opening the source. Labels: Hot |
