Ellen Wexler: What Open-Access Publishing Actually Costshttp://chronicle.com/article/What-Open-Access-Publishing/234108Schaubild von Ubiquity Presshttp://www.ubiquitypress.com/site/publish"Up to 99% of the cost of publishing is spent on peer review. Let meillustrate that with a simple calculation. About half a year ago onthe Scholarly Kitchen blog it was reported that the technicalpreparation (xml-coding etc) and hosting costs an average of $47 perarticle at PubMedCentral( http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2015/04/08/revisiting-the-price-of-posting-pubmed-central-spends-most-of-its-budget-handling-author-manuscripts ).Any other publishing costs are essentially those associated with theorganisation of peer review (and profits, of course). That means, thecost of peer review is an average of $2953 per article published in atypical hybrid journal with APC of$3000, and an average of $4953 in atypical subscription journal with revenues of $5000 per article. Ifthese figures are correct – and I have no reason to believe they arematerially wrong – the cost per article of technical preparation isless than one percent of the average per-article revenue of a typicalsubscription journal.So, massive savings could clearly be made."
