They charge APCs, but provide a discount if there is an institutional membership (subscription) <http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/nar/about.html>. Institutional memberships result in a 50% reduction in APCs <http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/nar/announce_openaccess.html>. Breakeven for a campus is publishing between 3 and 4 articles/yr. George S.
