Timothy ElfenbeintimelfenMay 3, 2024, 3:54 PM@kdnyhan Thanks for this reference: From the POV of ACM, strategy is to replace subscription revenue w/ individual APCs & R+P deals. Is the substantial increase in authors from industry reflected in the sources of its revenue? If APC-based OA shifts the publishing costs from reading- to research-intensive institutions, has the shift in model enabled them to raise the level of revenue from industry?
From the unaffiliated author's POV, it doesn't matter: they're priced out of participation.

@kdnyhan I'm not sure anyone knows what this would look like in practice, & the attempts to figure out average cost to produce average article haven't been terribly coherent in my opinion.
