NIH wants to cap publication fees for publicly funded research
On July 8, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a proposed new policy aimed at capping the publication fees that scientific publishers can charge researchers funded by the NIH. This measure seeks to curb excessive profits made at the expense of the scientific community by major publishers, particularly through the use of "hybrid" journal models. The proposal reinforces the NIH's commitment to Open Science and aligns with their goal of promoting transparent and universally accessible research.
