Περιγραφή:The recent editorial in this journal debates a recurring issue which year-upon year, academics are reflectively responding to, namely whether existing article processing charges (APCs) in the gold open access model—especially in ranked and indexed journals of for-profit publishers—are high or excessive. Ultimately, the research community needs to determine whether such pricing—set by the publishers who negotiate deals with universities, often using tax-payers’ money—is merited, and whether high APCs constitute a form of greed, exploitation, or predatory behavior, or whether this is “normal”.
