Royal Society of London. EXiS Open Choice

Royal Society tests new system of free access to papers.

Authors, or their research sponsors, who choose to pay to make their papers immediately available online will be charged £300 ($553, €439) per A4 page...
Papers will be placed in PubMedCentral.

Articles are freely available one year after publication.

The Royal Society hopes to test the viability of the scheme by charging the full economic cost of publication.
