NO MORE DOUBLE-DIPPING
De Gruyter introduced a new pricing model that prevents "double dipping"-paying twice for open access publications appearing in hybrid journals. If 5% or more of the articles published in one of De Gruyter's subscription journals are open access articles, the subscription price for the journal will be proportionally reduced. De Gruyter will also offset APCs (article processing charges) from the subscription price (degruyter.com).
