All 40+ editors of #Elsevier's _NeuroImage_ just resigned to protest the journal's high #APC and launch a new #OpenAccess journal.
https://imaging-neuroscience.org/Announcement.pdf
"Elsevier…set the NeuroImage APC…at $3,450 USD. Compared against this, estimates of direct article costs at relevant journals are generally around $1,000 or lower.…It is wrong for publishers to make such high profits."
