2 - Gold Open Access - same publishing process as above. The difference is that when an article is accepted for publication, the author/s or funder/s pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). The final version of the published article is then free to read for everyone. The APC to publish Gold Open Access in Nature is
£9390.00/$12850.00/€10850.00.

Why are we still spending tens of thousands of $$$ on APC for non-society journals like Nature?

Wouldn’t that money be better spent at society journals at least? We are doing ourselves a disservice by continuing to participate in this madness.

You don’t need a paper in these journals to succeed.

Green AoB PLANTS “Meet the Editor” flyer featuring Associate Editor Juliana Medeiros (Holden Arboretum, USA). The graphic highlights her research focus on plant anatomical and physiological acclimation to abiotic environments, her commitment to rigorous and inclusive science, advice for publishing (“build your paper around a strong central finding”), her favorite plants (rhododendrons and coffee), and her interests outside science, including assemblage art and caring for houseplants and aquariums. A circular photo shows her working in a lab under red light.
