RE: Open Access Scientific Publication - My Recent Experience + Full Text Access to my First Published Manuscript
You're very welcome. I appreciate you stopping by to listen!
The publication fee for all of the MDPI journals is 1500 Swiss francs (CHF). Our university had a 25% discount deal with them, so that left the balance at 1125 CHF, which the library paid. It's expensive, yes, but as long as the library has the money, I think it's important on principle. Otherwise, I'm not sure how I would be able to share my work on this platform.
Anyhow, I'm glad it worked out, and again, thanks so much for your comment!
It does seem expensive, but like you mentioned the Library can save money in the long run. If all the Universities did this for pubs, then there would be no need for expensive journal subscriptions like Science Direct. Nor would their be the problem of lack of access to stuff out of their service.
