Forensic Open Access Survey

"Open access publishing is growing, especially in the sciences (see for example this article in Nature). A variety of business models are being used and explored by publishers. One of those models is submission fees, where the author(s) pay the publishing costs once a manuscript has been accepted. The costs vary widely, depending on the journal and its market. This very short survey asks some general questions about this model and how it might be received in the forensic community."
