Zewei,

By open peer review, are you referring to peer-reviewed journals with open
access publishing (as others have provided examples) or ones that make their
peer review process open (like Biology
Directhttp://www.biology-direct.com/info/about/,
Nature MSB http://www.nature.com/msb/, or
EMBOhttp://www.nature.com/emboj/journal/v28/n1/full/emboj2008250a.html)?
 Victoria Stodden has written more about this topic
herehttp://blog.stodden.net/2011/03/06/open-peer-review-of-science-a-possibility/.
 Biology Direct is probably the most extreme example and the only one
broadly appropriate for ecology?

Ecolog:

Pretty steep fees.

Journals can't exist without some form of financing, but the net effect of 
fees is to discourage publication by those whose institutions are on limited 
budgets or those who would have to pay out of their own pocket--except for 
those who are rather wealthy or perhaps desperate enough for recognition to 
pay up.


It would seem that the money would have to come from either publication 
fees, subscription fees, or organizations having some justification for 
footing the bill.


Have any studies been done on peer-reviewed journals and how they solve the 
financing riddle? Which ones make money and how do they make it?


WT

PS: Why do some journals hide their fee schedules rather than just say 
up-front what their fees are?
