What Are the Challenges of Open Access Publishing?
Despite the benefits, there are some challenges associated with open access publishing:
Article Processing Charges (APCs): Many open access journals require authors to pay APCs, which can be a barrier for some researchers. Predatory Journals: There are journals that exploit the open access model without providing proper peer review. It is important to avoid these predatory journals. Quality Concerns: Some open access journals may not have the same rigorous standards as traditional journals.
