<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Hi Ross, this has taken a little time to bottom out but indeed the article should be OA. In 2013 you may recall we initiated an exercise to add/correct and generally
clean up OA license information on articles. This article was part of that exercise, and a little unusual: we had invoiced the author, and then the institution wanted to receive the invoice but in a different currency, so the original article invoice was
unpaid during the cleaning exercise. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Our normal practice is to publish articles OA, but to move them back behind the firewall if after a grace period the invoice remains unpaid. So it was picked up
as an article with an unpaid APC and moved behind the firewall. We’ve gone through the system, this is the only article affected. There’s nothing malicious about what happened here, and we’ll be reimbursing the institution’s APC, and your PPV charge. We
will also run a check to see if anyone else paid PPV for this article and if so reimburse them as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
