“…Access is crucial for healthcare practitioners striving to stay updated on recent advancements, policymakers seeking evidence-based initiatives, and researchers promoting multidisciplinary cooperation. To fully comprehend the aging process, it is necessary to combine various viewpoints and share research discoveries across different academic fields [8,9]. Open access catalyzes this integration by promoting collaboration among experts from different disciplines and expediting the transformation of research into significant outcomes.…”

Against a background of worldwide demographic change typified by a considerable increase in elderly individuals, open-access publishing in aging, anti-aging, and geriatrics is addressed. The value of improving scientific understanding in various domains is emphasized, as is the necessity for accessible, rapidly spread knowledge to tackle the multiple difficulties posed by aging populations. The rise of open-access publishing is viewed as an innovative trend that lowers barriers to access and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration. The advantages of open access in aging research are discussed, focusing on promoting worldwide collaboration, improving visibility and citation rates, and expediting the translation of research into practical applications. Given the expanding global aged population, the article emphasizes the urgent need for extensive research and the development of public health policies to promote healthy aging. Open access is praised for its inclusive aspect, which promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and a comprehensive understanding of the aging process. Open access to aging research has a bright future, potentially expanding our understanding of the aging process, stimulating global collaboration, and influencing data-driven public health solutions. The continued evolution of open access in aging research is distinguished by collaborative efforts, ethical considerations, and a commitment to enhancing the well-being of aging people worldwide. Embracing transparency and inclusivity creates the groundwork for a future in which scientific information informs policies and behaviors that benefit future generations as they age.

“…Many journals require authors to pay article processing charges (APCs) in order to publish an OA manuscript. These fees can be significant, in the ranges of thousands of US dollars and thus may inadvertently serve as a barrier to OA publication, particularly for authors with limited personal or institutional resources [9,10]. To address this concern, some publishers have introduced APC waivers to authors from low-and middle-income countries.…”

Background Open access (OA) publishing represents an exciting opportunity to facilitate the dissemination of scientific information to global audiences. However, OA publishing is often associated with significant article processing charges (APCs) for authors, which may thus serve as a barrier to publication. Objective In this observational cohort study, we aimed to characterize the landscape of OA publishing in oncology and, further, identify characteristics of oncology journals that are predictive of APCs. Methods We identified oncology journals using the SCImago Journal & Country Rank database. All journals with an OA publication option and APC data openly available were included. We searched journal websites and tabulated journal characteristics, including APC amount (in US dollars), OA model (hybrid vs full), 2-year impact factor (IF), H-index, number of citable documents, modality/treatment specific (if applicable), and continent of origin. All APCs were converted to US-dollar equivalents for final analyses. Selecting variables with significant associations in the univariable analysis, we generated a multiple regression model to identify journal characteristics independently associated with OA APC amount. An audit of a random 10% sample of the data was independently performed by 2 authors to ensure data accuracy, precision, and reproducibility. Results Of 367 oncology journals screened, 251 met the final inclusion criteria. The median APC was US $2957 (IQR 1958-3450). The majority of journals (n=156, 62%) adopted the hybrid OA publication model and were based in Europe (n=119, 47%) or North America (n=87, 35%). The median (IQR) APC for all journals was US $2957 (1958-3540). Twenty-five (10%) journals had APCs greater than US $4000. There were 10 (4%) journals that offered OA publication with no publication charge. Univariable testing showed that journals with a greater number of citable documents (P<.001), higher 2-year IF (P<.001), higher H-index (P<.001), and those using the hybrid OA model (P<.001), or originating in Europe or North America (P<.001) tended to have higher APCs. In our multivariable model, the number of citable documents (β=US $367, SD US $133; P=.006), 2-year IF (US $1144, SD US $177; P<.001), hybrid OA publishing model (US $991, SD US $189; P<.001), and North American origin (US $838, SD US $186; P<.001) persisted as significant predictors of processing charges. Conclusions OA publication costs are greater in oncology journals that publish more citable articles, use the hybrid OA model, have a higher IF, and are based in North America or Europe. These findings may inform targeted action to help the oncology community fully appreciate the benefits of open science.
