My post (no. 8) is misleading. I most certainly DO agree with Shieber's overall conclusion that author-pays OA is not vanity publishing. I just think his reasoning and some of his assertions are flawed. For example the notion that raising author charges requires a lowering of standards. This is palpably false (check out Cell Press, for example!). Apologies. My post (no. 8) is misleading.

For example, that raising the publication charge requires a lowering of standards. The article essentially sets up the "straw man" that OA = vanity publishing only to then demolish it.

Vanity journal domination is not occurring, nor is it likely to occur, among OA journals. Vanity journal existence will and does happen among both OA and subscription-fee journals, but at least for OA journals is a benign phenomenon. As subscription-fee journals more and more charge author-side fees, including hybrid open-access fees, one can only hope that the baseless vanity press recrimination against open-access journals will fade away.
