    Going open access is great, and that’s what I do, but it has to be said a lot of grants do NOT pay for open access publications, and diamond open access (free for authors and readers) is quite rare and you can wait eternity to get published.

    So, it has to be paid straight out of personal finances.

      There are many journals without any cost for publication. Doaj lists them as diamond-tier open access

        I did mention them. Not always plenty in a particular subject area, often takes a lot of time to get published.
