RE: [tips] question about open access, on line publishing
Dear Tipsters, I second Chris’s remarks. As mentioned by someone else, Beale’s list of predatory publishers is worth consulting. There are some no-cost online open-access journals that seem to have reasonable standard of peer review. But you do have to be careful.

RE: [tips] question about open access, on line publishing
I second Chris' views on this matter. One open access journal operation that merits a closer look is PeerJ: https://peerj.com/. It has what many consider to be a reasonable publication cost and peer review model.
