Abstract
This article briefly reviews concepts and models associated with open access publishing. It provides a set of data about the frequency of public funding support for research published in leading journals in the disciplines of Chemistry, Economics, and Mathematics. Funding differences by discipline are highlighted. The authors’ intent is not to draw broad conclusions but simply to inform the wider discussion of open access.
