Journals charging article processing charges for open access in excess of $5000 are likely to be hit
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) looks set to bar paying the highest fees for its researchers to publish in high-profile journals. These include around 30 journals such as Nature Communications, Cell Reports and Science Advances, according to a report in Science. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the US is also considering setting limits on journal charges for open access.
