Rebuttal to ‘publications in gold open access and article processing charge expenditure: evidence from Indian scholarly output

Rebuttal to ‘publications in gold open access and article processing charge expenditure: evidence from Indian scholarly output: The article by Raj Kishor Kampa, Manoj Kumar Sa and Mallikarjun Dora, Curr. Sci., 2023, 125(10), 1057–1062, claims that Indian researchers spent 17 million USD on article processing charges (APC) for gold open access (OA) articles in 2020. This rebuttal shows that the authors might have made multiple errors and need to redo their calculations.
