Woah, no one I know has ever paid a publishing fee. Where are you publishing? Anywhere that asks for money is a scam journal. Also, a PhD is fully funded by nature, so all fees for anything should come from your program.
Most well regarded journals in STEM require a publishing fee. That is not the case for the humanities and I believe social sciences, which are always free.
In the off chance that I get to writing a paper, I’m just going to publish it in one of the free ones and add a license to it that prevents the money grabbing ones from using it.
If noone looks at it, it’s their loss.
You can only win one battle.
And you have to choose what you push for.
This problem wouldn’t have existed, had enough people migrated to open journals during the internet boom.
And if reviewers are not being paid anyway, they might as well start working with someone that’s not a money sink.
Of course I can’t say much in this regard, as I have never been a reviewer (probably not even qualifying), but I’d rather be associated with an organisation that focusses on giving a better service than on wringing funds and work out of all that deal with them.
Not exactly, you should do what interests you. I meant as in look at accepted papers for tips on organization, flow, how to explain your methodology and present figures etc. Really great research can suffer sometimes if no one can understand your methodology or your motivation for your experiments. But of course besides that it’s helpful if the presented work is meaningful and impactful for your field (your project advisor can help scope this)

Oh I didn’t know, thanks. For some reason I assumed they were waived

If your field is computer science or eng, publishing in one of the A ranking conferences for your field is as good as top journal publishing

I would use accepted papers as an example, I find that usually helps
