AAP Submits Comments in Response to NIH Request for Information on Maximizing Research Funds by Limiting Allowable Publishing Costs
On September 15, 2025, AAP submitted comments in response to a Request for Information on Maximizing Research Funds by Limiting Allowable Publishing Costs by the National Institutes of Health.
AAP continues to advocate that the best method for addressing issues of cost in publication is through a vibrant, competitive, and dynamic publishing marketplace with maximum author choice. Publishers are partners with scientists and doctors in the research process, working to ensure research integrity and boosting American innovation and discovery.
Models are now changing in the face of open access mandates, and AAP has analyzed the options put forth by NIH to identify the plan that will provide authors with maximum freedom to choose how to publish and communicate their work, while at the same time supporting the indispensable publication processes that deliver best-in-class, peer-reviewed articles.
