#Researchers, #ScienceEditors, and #MedicalEditors, I'd be interested in hearing what you think about this article from @insidehighered.com.
NIH takes aim at exorbitant publishing fees. Open access advocates say calling out the fees is good but argue capping them isn't the solution. Jay Bhattacharya, head of the NIH, says caps will make science "more democratic" @kathrynpalmer.bsky.social reports www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

Director of the National Institutes of Health says that capping research journals’ open-access fees will help rein in the $19 billion academic publishing industry and bolster scientific debate.
