petersuber on Nostr: Publisher Richard Charkin is wrong to assume that all or even most #OpenAccess rests ...
Publisher Richard Charkin is wrong to assume that all or even most #OpenAccess rests on #APCs. (He calls the shift to OA "moving from a pay-to-read to a pay-to-publish model.") But he's right to say that "the big STM #publishers have found that charging governments and funding agencies to pay for publication is just as profitable or even more profitable than the traditional subscription system and the publicly-quoted share prices seem to confirm that."
