IOP Publishing will give fees to the non-profit Research4Life that supports open access publication for scientists in low- and middle-income countries
IOP Publishing, owned by the Institute of Physics, has pledged to donate all of its article processing fees (APCs) from retracted papers to the nonprofit Research4Life. The announcement follows the repeated recommendation of Guillaume Cabanac, an associate of computer science professor at the University of Toulouse in France, who helped to create the Problematic Paper Screener that uses machine learning and human assessment to flag dubious published articles.
