Content:
There are many good reasons for publishing scientific results open access. Publishing open access is, however, often associated with having to pay an article processing fee (APC) to the publisher and a certain degree of uncertainty if and how ones own institution will cover the costs, especially if the Austrian Science Fund is involved as well.
