Publishers add a lot of value to research after the research is completed, and the public does not pay for that.
That’s true enough, Mr. Beall, but open access journals are able to provide the same value for a minimal cost or even for free, and then pass along that huge saving to those seeking access to the knowledge contained within. So the need for open access isn’t nonexistent, it’s vindicated.
