First let me remind everyone that the vast majority of open access
journals do NOT charge article processing fees. Also, open access
publishing is only one of the two major approaches to making our work
open access, along with open access archiving.

The purpose of this forthcoming research project is to track
developments of OA article processing fees, noting any trend toward
competition or unwarranted increases (similar to the tracking of
serials prices in the annual Library Journal report).
