The argument about whether open access (OA) mandates should express support for article processing fees (APC) has hit Canada, which a policy paper leaning in that direction. Julia Wright responds to the proposal: "if the goal is 'Opening Canadian Research to the World,' are per-article requirements the best route? What if that $4.1-13.9 million were kept in Canada to help our journals convert to or maintain OA with minimal or no APCs? Canadian journals as a group could be truly OA, affordable and high-quality—a haven for researchers dealing with per-article OA requirements on their grants." Agreed. More from Michael Geist.
