petersuberSpringer Nature makes clear that federally-funded authors who want to publish in SN journals will have to pay <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APCs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APCs</a>. <a href="https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-science/us-federal-agency-compliance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-science/us-federal-agency-compliance</a> If you're a fed-funded author, then submitting your manuscript to one of SN's non-OA or subscription-based journals, to avoid the APC, is not an option for you. Those SN journals will desk-reject your submissions without regard to relevance or merit. When you face a publisher demand for an APC, remember what the fee really buys. It buys entry to publish in that particular journal (assuming manuscript acceptance). It does not buy compliance with your funder policy.

petersuberAn editorial in _Microbial Biotechnology_ argues that journals aiming to maximize the number of papers published, in part to maximize <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APCs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APCs</a>, are "promoting an insidious degradation of rigour and quality standards of reviewing–editing practices. Such predatory practices result in the systematic degradation of research quality and its “truthfulness”. Moreover, they undermine the science ethos and threaten to create a new generation of scientists that lack this ethos. These trends will inevitably progressively erode public trust in scientists and the research ecosystem." <a href="https://enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1751-7915.70180" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1751-7915.70180</a> Since the authors don't mention it, I'll mention that non-APC <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a> (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DiamondOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiamondOA</a>) journals don't create this problem or even carry the risk. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ScholComm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScholComm</a>

petersuberThe Royal Society of Chemistry (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/RSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RSC</a>) just issued a vague and puzzling statement about its plans. <a href="https://www.rsc.org/news/our-evolving-approach-to-open-access" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.rsc.org/news/our-evolving-approach-to-open-access</a>It once planned to convert all its journals to <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a> by 2028. By which it apparently meant <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APC</a>-based OA. But after talking with customers in different parts of the world, it learned that some regions "are not yet ready for fully OA." By which it means APC-based OA. "The resounding message we heard over and over is that one size cannot fit all." By which it means that not all can pay APCs. "It became clear that we needed to adapt our vision for openness to account for a landscape that is increasing in complexity and no longer coalescing around a single direction for open research." As if the global landscape had ever coalesced around support for APCs. But RSC is still committed to some kind of transition to OA. "We are now shaping our future OA approach to support authors in ways that suit them best in a local context." If it plans to support no-APC forms of OA, it carefully avoids saying so. It never mentions <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GreenOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenOA</a> and never endorses <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DiamondOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiamondOA</a>. (It mentions one diamond OA initiative in Africa, but it's not an RSC initiative.)I'm guessing that it plans to rely on locally customized <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ReadAndPublish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReadAndPublish</a> agreements. (I've argued that all such agreements use APCs in disguise.) But if so, why not say so? If it has other models in mind for regions "not ready" for APC-based OA, why not say what they are? <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APCs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APCs</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/South" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#South</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ScholComm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScholComm</a>

petersuberUpdate. Here's a published article making a cluster of false claims about <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a> journals: "In the OA model…costs are…covered by Article Processing Charges (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APCs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APCs</a>) paid by the authors (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GoldOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoldOA</a>); in relatively rare cases, some funders cover the full costs of a journal (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DiamondOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiamondOA</a>) to make it free for readers and authors alike." <a href="https://www.ssph-journal.org/journals/international-journal-of-public-health/articles/10.3389/ijph.2025.1608614/full" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ssph-journal.org/journals/international-journal-of-public-health/articles/10.3389/ijph.2025.1608614/full</a>1. It claims that most OA journals charge APCs and that diamond OA journals are rare. But most OA journals do NOT charge APCs and diamond OA journals predominate. Today the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DOAJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOAJ</a> (<a href="https://masto.ai/@DOAJ" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DOAJ</a>) lists 21,597 OA journals, of which 13,735 or 63.5% are diamond. <a href="https://doaj.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doaj.org/</a>2. It claims that at APC-based OA journals, APCs are (always) paid by authors. But while this tends to be true in the global south, even there it's only a tendency, not a universal truth. In the north, APCs are usually NOT paid by authors but by their funders or employers. <a href="https://suber.pubpub.org/pub/j1jk6hu9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://suber.pubpub.org/pub/j1jk6hu9</a>3. There are many ways to fund a diamond or non-APC OA journals, not just by having funders cover their costs.BTW, this piece is called a "commentary" and might not have been peer-reviewed. In the rest of the piece, the authors complain about misunderstandings of their journal.
