Summary:

"The growing reputation and strong peer review standards of some open-access journals has been pivotal to academics’ acceptance of them, along with the prospect of faster publication, a study of attitudes towards open-access publishing has found. “Peer review is as important in open-access journals as in paid subscription journals,” says Laura Sbaffi, a lecturer in health informatics at The University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, one of the authors of the paper published in March 2017 in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology."
