| Abstract | As the options for open access publishing increase, scientists and students are a bit befuddled by the choices and the costs. Librarians are being asked difficult questions: Is this an okay journal to publish in? Is the editorial board reputable? How much is this going to cost? Is it worth it? While compiling our biannual review of journals in marine science and technology for Magazines for Libraries, we explored the current options. These are described here as “the good, the bad and the ugly”. Our intent is to provide a brief primer for librarians to use when asked questions about open access publishing. |
