Ludo Waltman#Elsevier keeps increasing the APC of #JournalOfInformetrics. It now equals USD 3960.
At @QSS_ISSI we also needed to increase our APC. It has increased to USD 750 for #ISSI members and USD 1200 for non-members.
Ridiculous to see that #JOI charges an APC that is more than five times as high as the APC of #QSS for #ISSI members. Moreover, despite the much lower APC, @mitpress offers a better service level than #Elsevier.
Paying the #JOI APC is a complete waste of money!
