Michael Eisen did not hold back when he vented about academic publishing: ‘It’s still ludicrous how much it costs to publish research.’ Indeed, it is an inconvenient truth that most journals ask for fees under various names (article processing charge, article submission charge, manuscript handling fee, etc.) – but some are absolutely free to publish.
For this reason, Psychreg launched Gratis Index – a list of journals relating to psychology, mental health, well-being, and related disciplines which do not charge any fees. The index is available on Psychreg blog.
