"Pay What You Want as a Pricing Model for Open Access Publishing?"

Martin Spann et al. have published "Pay What You Want as a Pricing Model for Open Access Publishing?" in Communications of the ACM.

Here's an excerpt:

The results suggest that a substantial fraction of authors do pay APCs voluntarily, in some cases even more than regularly asked.
