Summary:

"[Mark Hanson at the University of Exeter] believes the problem is not open access and APCs per se, but for-profit publishers that seek to publish as many papers as possible. He believes the strain on academic publishing could be substantially alleviated if funding agencies stipulated that the work they support must be published in non-profit journals."
