Talk:Article processing charge

18 U.S.C. §1734 statement
Moving this to the Talk page because I find it difficult to understand the context. This section of the article address Criticisms of APCs, not the history of how articles were payed for. I suppose the criticism that could be gathered from Kent's blog post (not a reliable source in my opinion) is that APC-supported articles run the risk of being unreliable, biased studies because industry could pay for them. But industry pays for so many things long before the article lands in a journal. I would argue that a historical discussion of 18 U.S.C. §1734 would belong in an entry on the history of journal publishing and "page fees" from the print journal era. This is not directly relevant to the rise of APCs. -- Jaireeodell (talk) 22:17, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
