By my calculations, with a mixed model of scholar-led journals like
those typically using OJS and article processing fees at the PLoS ONE
average fee of $1,350, yes, these savings are quite possible. For

A huge THANKS to University of Iowa's Wendy Robertson for giving me
some great data to work with:
