TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - An examination of author-paid charges in science journals JO - Comprehensive psychology A1 - Curb, Lisa A. A1 - Abramson, Charles I. SP - Article 4 EP - Article 4 VL - 1 IS - online N2 - Top-tier journals were examined in terms of the financial contributions of authors, including page charges. Such fees began as early as the 1930s and continue to become more common. A comparison within and between the journals in the Sciences and Social Sciences sections of the Journal Citation Reports indicated that Sciences journals more commonly had page charges. A quantitative examination of page fees may provide some insight into the ongoing debate about author-paid open access articles. Open Access: http://www.amsciepub.com/doi/abs/10.2466/01.17.CP.1.4
