NIH posts comments on APC caps

NIH has released nearly 1,400 pages of comments received from more than 900 commenters on the policy proposal on “Maximizing Research Funds by Limiting Allowable Publishing Costs.” STM’s was among the approximately 10% of submissions that were very extensive, along with several other publishers/publishing organisations and some large institutions and funders. Other than Gates, many of the longest responses raised significant concerns. STM is on the lookout for further policy announcements, potentially coming early next year, while continuing to engage in advocacy.
