Follow-up on the early overlay journals

Regarding the 3 examples of early overlay journals: It seems that 2 of these have been captured by conventional publishers. JHEP is now published by Springer ^[1], which charges substantial author processing fees. G&T is now published by MSP, which charges subscription fees ^[2]. If someone knows how that happened, it could make for an interesting addition to the history. Mameister (talk) 03:57, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Both of these seem to publish original articles, so they are not overlay journals. --Randykitty (talk) 11:15, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
