Author-pays OA models are challenging to the ecosystem for a variety of reasons.Large institutions with heavy scholarly output may pay more, small institutions that usethe content but publish less are wondering what role they will play, and authors fromthe global south may not have funding to pay Article Processing Charges (APCs).
