Hi all,
Doug Plunkett sent this to me today and asked me to forward to everyone. He found it in the recent issue of Science.
“Stargazers will soon be able to read all papers from the Astrophysical Journal and other publications of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) for free on the day of their release—one of the first prominent scientific societies to allow this. AAS announced last week that when all its journals become “open access” in January 2022, the society will end subscriptions; it will replace that revenue with fees paid by authors, based on length, with a maximum charge of $4500. Some research funders have required grantees to publish results in open-access journals and include publication fees in their grants. Many publishers have gone “hybrid,” publishing both open and paywalled papers. AAS says it will waive or discount fees for authors unable to pay them."
