As Jean-Claude points out, there are different business models. It is a good idea to support the journals that do not need to charge processing fees, as these journals are more easily accessible for publishing purposes for our colleagues around the globe.Heather Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726928948544472886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13854474.post-1162025576782053852006-10-28T01:52:00.000-07:002006-10-28T01:52:00.000-07:00More importantly for authors, 11 of those have no ...More importantly for authors, 11 of those have no publication fees either, which you can get by clicking on the for authors on the bottom left. I would encourage students to focus on these to encourage truly open science to develop.Jean-Claude Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157209601339686455noreply@blogger.com
