  1. The _Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing_ is converting from #hybrid to #APC-based #OpenAccess. One of its motives to escape the #DoubleDipping of the hybrid model. "Although this hybrid approach was well-intentioned, it created a paradoxical situation where institutions pay [and publishers receive] both subscription fees and publication charges."

    PS: Glad to see it acknowledge the double dipping. Too many hybrid journals don't do that. Next step, escape the inequity and author-side barriers of the APC model.
