    Update. Another article made it through peer review (at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) proclaiming the two false generalizations that #OpenAccess journals charge #APCs and that paid APCs are paid by authors. https://journals.lww.com/jaaos/abstract/9900/the_open_versus_closed_access_publication.1671.aspx(#paywalled) Most OA journals are #DiamondOA and charge no APCs. http://www.doaj.org/ Most paid APCs are paid by funders or employers, not by authors out of pocket. (Footnote: The evidence for this is clearer for the global north than the global south.)https://suber.pubpub.org/pub/j1jk6hu9On the plus side, the article reports that in field of orthopaedic surgery, OA articles have higher citation counts and altmetric scores than non-OA articles.#Medicine #OACA #OpenAccessCitationAdvantage
