Or should it be: When I publish an academic paper, - my institution pays the journal. When I read an academic paper - my institution pays the journal. When I review an academic paper for a journal - my institution pays my salary.

It could also be written as. I apply for funding, do the work, write the paper, review others papers. at no cost to the publisher. The tax payer pays for submission. The tax payer pays again to read the article. A private company makes 40% profit margins
-
True though isn't that what a company is meant to do. Though I do agree that there could be a different structure. Non profit journal publishing companies could be a better model. But as long as a for profit organisation is responsible for journal publications, they need profit.
-
Not necessarily. A company is potentially rewarded with profit for the value it creates. It can then reinvest this. Many huge for profit companies make very little profit. Ask yourself how much value a journal brand creates for its users and whether it is worth the fees.

Pay to publish? That is very much frowned upon by tenure committees at my university.
-
Nature, Science, and Cell charge you publication fees.
-
Huge fees. Typically $2 K per paper for "color charges."
-
Yikes.
-
Note: this is not pay-to-'persuade'-to-publish, which is universally frowned upon, but rather pay-after-publication-decision-has-been-made to cover costs related to presentation, copyright, etc. Books can be worse, at least in art history.
-
A difference without a distinction.
-
In the end, perhaps not. It’s a system worth relegating to the Analog Age.

We need to stop this! How? As a mid career Academic with young kids I don’t have funds to pay for my papers’ publication as more journals turn to pay to publish. (Early: mid: women: others) careers slip behind the academics with money to publish. Not right
-
I hear ya! I have no $ to pay for open access right now. Ironically I have a review paper coming out soon on dissemination and implementation of science that I can't afford to make available to all.
-
Yes you can. It is called a preprint. You are also allowed to provide a copy of the next to final revision.
-
Thank you. It’s not so much sharing the papers - but having journals left which don’t require payment as peer review is still alive and well in academia, KPI’s for the job etc.

Whats disturbing is that the net effect of the
#openaccess agenda has been to permit the first to occur without altering the status quo of the last two. -
Agreed - the list is quite disturbing. If
#openaccess can follow the#OpenSource model, all three should become free. AFAIK Machine Learning is the only discipline that’s been able to pull this off - see@JmlrOrg You shouldn’t have to pay to Science.

And you pay extra for color figures. In the *digital* age. And your reviewer is often your competitor. And as an unpaid reviewer, you’re still on a deadline.

Academic publishers run the best scam in the world. And all the best Academics in the world let them get away with it. And all Universities pay vast fortunes to the publishers to access the work of academics.
