- Additional participant comments regarding disincentives for open access publishing:
- "Page costs may be a factor, but UNC is a member [of the open access publisher] so it doesn't matter. I have to deal with high page costs anyway because I have to pay for color images."
- "In some cases, journals increased page charges to offset the costs of open access. This can be a factor as the amount of money we have for page charges is small and comes from grants, not our department or UNC funds."
- "Cost. For example PLoS is very expensive, but the University has an agreement so I pay less."
- "None, except some open access venues are not highly respected."
