  As of April 2021, PLOS One charges a publication fee of $1,745 to publish an article.

  I mean, seriously, I would like to publish to one of these, but who has the money to do that?

    I mean, if you consider how much a study costs to get to the point of publication, the publication costs are peanuts in comparison.

  There are many other open-access journals, for example these: freejournals.org. But yes, open-access is the way.

  I have a stupid question but what are the costs of a journal like this? I mean, if they don’t pay the researchers and the reviewers, what do they do?
