Hi
Which of the below three options do you think is best regarding a =
journal with both print and online versions????
=20
1) Journal is open access, the publisher will charge page charges to =
authors.
2) No page charges (except color plates), but the publisher charges =
download fees and only the abstracts are open access. =20
3) Page charges are optional for the author, if the author pays the =
entire article is open access, if not then only the abstract will be =
accessible without paying a download fee. =20
=20
In case someone is unaware, If an article is entirely open access then =
anyone can read it or download it online. IF only the abstract is =
available then you can read the abstract online, but must pay a fee to =
download the entire article.
=20
Thanks for the feedback, its actually very important!
