In June 2014 I analysed the data of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) to find out to what extent Open Access Journals in Sociology (as listed by the DOAJ) charge their authors with publication fees (or article processing charges APCs).

Forschungsförderung und Publikationen zeigen auch beide den sogenannten Matthäus-Effekt: “Denn wer da hat, dem wird gegeben, dass er die Fülle habe;
