New Open Astronomy Journal
2007, December 7 - 16:27 — Jason W Barnes
There's a new journal that has just launched: The Open Astronomy Journal. It seems to be entirely open access, meaning that the cost for any viewer to download the papers in it is zero. The cost to publish in it is $600 for a paper less than 8 pages, and $800 for greater than or equal to 10 pages. Nine page papers are evidently not acceptible (go figure). Is this the Open solution to planetary science publishing?

It could partially
In so far as the Planetary Sciences you do are fit for submission to an Astronomy journal, this might be a reasonable avenue. However the Astrophysical Journal grants a very reasonable right of republication to its authors, so you don't particularly gain much Open-Access-wise in this subject field.
