      <br>
      Dear all,<br>
      <br>
      I have been invited by Prof. Dr. Andrew Parker, the
      Editor-in-Chief of our journal "Vision", <br>
      to highlight MDPI’s APC policy in this discussion group.<br>
      <br>
      MDPI seeks to maintain a fair and sustainable APC policy that
      allows its staff to run journals <br>
      to expected industry standards, to launch and develop new titles,
      and to subsidize articles in <br>
      many various cases. Articles may be discounted or waived for
      fields where little or no funding is<br>
      available for open access publication (such as humanities and
      social sciences), for authors from <br>
      low-income countries, or for few invited articles. Our new
      journals, in the process of establishing their <br>
      reputation and gaining visibility, do not charge an APC for at
      least the first three to four years <br>
      of operation.<br>
      <br>
      As indicated in our annual report 2015 (<a class="m_9221802830598357425m_-1342222868685310972moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mdpi.com/about" target="_blank">http://www.mdpi.com/about</a>),
      the average APC for articles <br>
      published in 2015 across all MDPI journals (including those with
      no APC) is around 830CHF <br>
      (770EUR/800USD). This is sufficient to cover our costs while
      maintaining a rigorous editorial process.<br>
      The OpenAPC project page currently reports €1,163 per article.
      This  discrepancy arises from the <br>
      fact that the Open APC project list only 45 of our 160 journals.
      This average APC per paper is <br>
      clearly among the lowest APC in the field:<br>
      <a class="m_9221802830598357425m_-1342222868685310972moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://treemaps.intact-project.org/apcdata/openapc/#publisher/" target="_blank">https://treemaps.intact-projec<wbr>t.org/apcdata/openapc/#publish<wbr>er/</a><br>
      The full list of APC across our journals is available here: <a class="m_9221802830598357425m_-1342222868685310972moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc#amount-apc" target="_blank">http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc#<wbr>amount-apc</a><br>
      <br>
      MDPI works closely with editorial boards consisting of scholars
      with an international reputation. <br>
      They work on a voluntary basis or receive a small honorarium, and
      are responsible for the <br>
      editorial decisions about which papers to publish. MDPI supports
      them with all time-consuming <br>
      administrative tasks. <br>
      MDPI is also involved in a number of not-for-profit project to
      help scholarly communities to interact<br>
      and communicate, like the multidisciplinary preprint project
      developed at "<a href="http://Preprints.org" target="_blank">Preprints.org</a>", the "<a href="http://sciforum.net/" target="_blank">sciforum.net</a>"<br>
      platform where scholars can create, organize and run their
      conference entirely for free, or "<a href="http://SciLit.net" target="_blank">SciLit.net</a>", <br>
      our database of scholarly literature (currently 88.8 millions
      articles) that allows scholar to stay up-to-date <br>
      every day with the most recent articles published by any
      publisher.<br>
      <br>
      Best wishes,<br>
      Franck<br>

                  <div>Over nine months ago, our journals were asked to

                    exactly why each journal is as expensive / cheap as
                    it is, particularly its open access option, and
                    whether each journal will provide transparent
                    accounting of costs."<br>
                    <br>
                    To my knowledge, four publishers (ARVO, Perception /
                    SAGE, Frontiers and Psychonomics) have provided at
                    least a cursory response, whereas Vision Research
                    (Elsevier), the APA (JEP:HPP), Multisensory Research
                    and MDPI's Vision journal have provided no response.
                    <br>
                    <br>
                    I recently decided to refuse a review request for
                    Vision Research, providing the editor with the
                    following letter:<br>
                    <br><p>Dear
                      Editor,</p><p>As
                      you’re aware, in January 2016 CVNet hosted a long
                      discussion about open-access charges and journal
                      costings more generally. This discussion resulted
                      in a survey of the community (results here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfpSVeLflOG4moGvhHlT2SivnW5Rqw-upGrwLZkqEcA/edit#gid=1335831285" rel="nofollow" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(187,0,0);text-decoration:none;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.0980392)" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/<wbr>…/1tfpSVeLflOG4moGvhHlT2SivnW…<wbr>/edit…</a>).
                      All journals publishing vision-related content
                      were invited to respond to the survey,
                      particularly addressing “exactly why each journal
                      is as expensive/cheap as it is, particularly its
                      open access option, and whether each journal will
                      provide transparent accounting of costs. Given
                      that the data indicate that “Full academic or
                      professional society control” is a high priority,
                      editors should also comment on the ability of
                      themselves and the rest of us to affect their
                      journal’s policies, features and cost.”.</p><p>To
                      my knowledge, Vision Research has as yet failed to
                      respond to this survey, despite having agreed to
                      such a response at its editorial board meeting at
                      VSS in May. This is in contrast to some other
                      journals and publishers, such as Perception /

                            English, Germans, and other countries to end
                            the "serials crisis" caused by publishers
                            over-charging for open access publication. 
                            Interestingly, it sounds like Elsevier
                            really IS the biggest obstacle among the
                            major publishers. It also sounds like
                            actions by libraries (e.g., the <a href="https://about.openlibhums.org/2014/04/07/library-partnership-subsidies-lps/" target="_blank">Library Partnership

                                        Simon,<br>
                                        <br>
                                        I fully share your reaction and
                                        your interpretation of the
                                        responses from our Vision
                                        Science journals to the results
                                        of Alex Holcombe's survey.
                                        Clearly, there is a mismatch
                                        between what folks in the Vision
                                        Science community are wanting,
                                        and what we are getting, and it
                                        seems that the folks in charge
                                        of our journals are, by and
                                        large, not sure what to say
                                        about it at the moment.<br>
                                        <br>
                                        I will say, however, that the
                                        "holding" statements from JOV
                                        and Psychonomics are entirely
                                        reasonable.  Any official
                                        changes are going to have be the
                                        product of discussion among the
                                        appropriate governing bodies. 
                                        We cannot expect any official
                                        changes to happen over night in
                                        response to the Vision Science
                                        community's stated wishes for
                                        change.<br>
                                        <br>
                                        On the other hand, one might
                                        also ask whether there is a
                                        valid distinction between "them"
                                        and "us" in this case, since the
                                        people doing the reviewing and
                                        editing are us (the Vision
                                        Science community).  So, any
                                        changes that start at a "grass
                                        roots" level will be by us. 
                                        That is, reviewers and editors
                                        of our various Vision Science
                                        journals who feel strongly about
                                        these issues may want to discuss
                                        among ourselves what we want,
                                        whether that would involve
                                        changes of the sort highlighted
                                        by Alex Holcombe's
                                        questionnaire, and, if so, what
                                        those changes would concretely
                                        involve.  Such discussions are
                                        surely the most direct way to
                                        start moving towards the changes
                                        that the questionnaire shows are
                                        desired by us in the Vision
                                        Science community.<br>
                                        <br>
