Things which probably would go better in the OA article
[edit]In 2010 Nature reported that two Scientific Research Publishing journals reprinted verbatim papers published previously in New Journal of Physics and Psychology. The authors of the original papers were not notified, and several researchers reported being listed as members of the editorial boards of various Scientific Research Publishing journals without their knowledge, or after confusing it for a journal with a similar name.[1]
(Lots of good information on the economics of publishing from this cite, probably best in OA article)[2] Researchers with the Eigenfactor Project have developed an online tool called Cost Effectiveness for Open Access Journals which compares the per-article publishing fees of journals to their "Article Influence", a metric which rates journals based on how their articles are cited (similar to an impact factor).[3] (May be better in the open access article)
