important words to remeber

email from Mary Ann Liebert C.:'Many of our authors have inquired about making their articles free online permanently, immediately upon publication. Rejuvenation Research offers its authors "Liebert Open Option" to enable them to do so. The cost of Liebert Open Option is $3,000 for each article.'
Graham Steel, Paul Bacchus, Jim Hardy and Mr. Gunn liked this
what? Authors should pay $3,000 if they want Open Access for making their stuff publicly available for others? Not sure I understand. Do you?
- Attila Csordas
That sounds awfully expensive
- Andrew Clegg
Obviously there's a price to pay to be OA. Someone has to pay for Free Access, too
- Jim Hardy
more expensive than BMC, but understandable.
- Paulo Nuin
I would really love to see a dollar-by-dollar breakdown of that $3000.
- Colin Ashe
Is that in addition to page charges? Then no, or at least not until I'd exhausted the open-access options.
- Chris Patil
I think since the authors are providing the content, and we are talking about academic articles here, you are getting into a weird area of Pay to Play/Publish that is a very slippery slope. The question is to have open access- should there be perhaps a yearly fee? Should regular subscriptions by libraries allow open access to web based content? What about medline?
- Whitney Hoffman
so we put the burden on libraries?
- Paulo Nuin
Springer's Open Access fee also used to be $3000 (I don't know what it has been recently). Oxford journals such as NAR charge reduced OA fees to publishers at institutions with a subscription, so the cost is basically shared between the institution/library and the author. The Berkeley Research Impact Initiative http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/brii... subsidizes fees like this for those who...

From the transfer of copyright form [http://www.liebertpub.com/media...] from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., about the NIH Public Access Policy: "In order to assist our authors who have NIH funding to comply with this policy, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. publishers will deposit the final accepted paper (after copy -editing and proofreading) to PubMed Central (PMC) on...

The restriction on self-archiving and long embargo is likely to make some people think, hmm, I'll just send it to PLoS and not deal with that.
- Mr. Gunn
Actually, Rejuvenation Research has no page charges http://www.liebertpub.com/product... So the $3000 is in line with the $2850 charged by PLoS Biology but significantly higher than PLoS ONE. Thus fees are RR>PB>PO whereas impact factor goes PB>RR>PO.
- Chris Patil
Not much of a difference from other OA publications, as pointed out. Funding agencies are supporting line items for OA publications. I ask for $5000/yr routinely for publications in my grant applications.
- Iddo Friedberg
Chris, IF won't remain that way forever, and I think it's a poor decision-making factor as well.
- Mr. Gunn
For a recent post about Article-Level Metrics at PLoS, see: http://tinyurl.com/qwvfxc
- Jim Till
Maybe instead of putting the burden on libraries it would take the burden off of libraries. Presumably, authors who want this will build it into their budget and it will be covered by grants, funding, etc and libraries will not have to buy a subscription to the journal.
- Angela Hamilton
I also would suggest not confounding the OA/author pays model of publishing with the deposition. Nature Publishing Group for example mostly consists of subscription journals but these journals (including Nature itself) provide the automatic deposition to PMC (as described above by Jim Till) as a free service to authors.
- Maxine
@Mr. Gunn - I don't make my decisions based on impact factor, and I agree that it's a poor basis for distinguishing between journals. I do think that that relative relationship of impact factors between those three journals is likely to remain the same for a while, however.
- Chris Patil
A fish-supper, anyone ?? - plus I have a fine pot of Earl Grey on (the) simmer......
- Graham Steel
"the OA/author pays model" -- just to clarify, OA and "author side fees" (a more accurate term) are two different things. The majority of OA journals don't charge any author side fees (though the best known ones, PLoS and BMC, do), whereas many toll-access journals charge page and color fees in addition to their subscriptions.
