D.O.B BLOG 📰🚨 BREAKING:
Gov. Dapo Abiodun declares Senator Solomon Adeola (Yayi) as APC consensus candidate for Ogun 2027 governorship race.

Nicolas ClairisBased on much evidence that many publishers use the pressure to publish open access (OA) as a means to increase the article processing charges (APCs) (see https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2018/01/22/adoption-of-open-access-is-rising-but-so-too-are-its-costs/ for example) I wanted to verify the assumption that for-profit OA journals are more expensive than for-profit non-OA journals in our where to publish database.
To my own surprise, I must confess that what I observed was the opposite: OA journals have, on average, cheaper APCs than non-OA journals (i.e. hybrid + subscription journals).
I don't have an easy explanation for that, but one possibility is that journals with editors willing to go fully for OA may also be the ones where editors are more motivated to maintain APCs low. Happy to hear more thoughts on that!
And don't hesitate to also play with the data from our database https://wheretopublish.github.io/ APCs are mostly collected from the openAPC database (https://www.openapc.net/) and all our data can be freely downloaded from our website as a .csv file :) #whereToPublish #APC #scientificPublicationSystem

TOWN TO GOWNNigeria: Power Meets Perception to Decide the Future.
Nigeria stands at a crossroads, where history, ideology and human perception intersect. That is the true diagnosis, revealing a nation thinking, questioning, and re-calibrating its political future in real time. Nigerians will not simply vote for parties or candidates. They will vote for a narrative they believe in. And in that choice lies the true fate of the nation. Lagos April 10, 2026 – Nigeria’s road to the 2027 elections is no longer defined solely by manifestos, party […]

"[...] it argues that much of the growth in OA has occurred within hybrid journals – resulting in what it sees as “double payment” by the research community."

[Pendant ce temps, ailleurs] "Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has announced it will cease funding open access (OA) publishing costs, arguing that the current model is failing to deliver a fair and efficient system for disseminating research."
