[Forwarding from Mark Ware. --Peter Suber.]<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Dear List<br>
<br>
I've been commissioned by Knowledge Exchange (<a href="http://www.knowledge-exchange.info" target="_blank">www.knowledge-exchange.info</a>), 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: <a href="http://mrkwr.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/open-access-submission-fees/" target="_blank">http://mrkwr.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/open-access-submission-fees/</a><br>
<br>
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 <a href="mailto:mark@markwareconsulting.com">mark@markwareconsulting.com</a>.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
