Ecolog:
Pretty steep fees.
Journals can't exist without some form of financing, but the net effect of
fees is to discourage publication by those whose institutions are on limited
budgets or those who would have to pay out of their own pocket--except for
those who are rather wealthy or perhaps desperate enough for recognition to
pay up.
It would seem that the money would have to come from either publication
fees, subscription fees, or organizations having some justification for
footing the bill.
Have any studies been done on peer-reviewed journals and how they solve the
financing riddle? Which ones make money and how do they make it?
WT
PS: Why do some journals hide their fee schedules rather than just say
up-front what their fees are?

Hi, Ecologgers
I was wondering if there is any open peer review journal in the field of
Ecology?
Thanks.
