[BOAI] Submission fees in journals

[Peter Suber]

[Forwarding from Mark Ware.  --Peter Suber.]


Dear List

I've been commissioned by Knowledge Exchange (www.knowledge-exchange.info),
a partnership of JISC (UK), SURF (Netherlands), DEFF (Denmark) and DfG
(Germany), to do a study into the feasibility of submission fees in open
access journals (i.e. as distinct from publication fees charged after
acceptance). I've written a short description of the project on my blog
here: http://mrkwr.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/open-access-submission-fees/

At this stage I would like to make contact with journals or publishers
(whether OA or otherwise) with any history of charging submission fees, with
a view to learning from their experience. If anyone on the list has such
experience they would be willing to share with this project, do please
contact me in the first instance via email at mark at markwareconsulting.com.

Regards,
 -Mark Ware
