[GOAL] Re: [sparc-oaforum] Anticipated new journal, eLife, publishes first articles

[Couture Marc]

An interesting information on eLife website:

"Publishing in eLife will be free of charge, at least for an initial period"
http://www.elifesciences.org/the-journal/publishing-fees  

More details found on Wellcome Trust website :

"For the first three to four years, to help establish the journal, no fees will be charged to authors. Once the journal is established and we begin to expand its scope and size, we anticipate that authors will be charged an article processing fee to cover some of the ongoing costs of publication. As we progress this initiative we will ensure full transparency and publish details of the journal's costs."
