This section is missing information about historical 18 U.S.C. §1734 statement, somewhat analyzed by Kent Anderson. Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.(July 2022)
Moving this to the Talk page because I find it difficult to understand the context. This section of the article address Criticisms of APCs, not the history of how articles were payed for. I suppose the criticism that could be gathered from Kent's blog post (not a reliable source in my opinion) is that APC-supported articles run the risk of being unreliable, biased studies because industry could pay for them. But industry pays for so many things long before the article lands in a journal. I would argue that a historical discussion of 18 U.S.C. §1734 would belong in an entry on the history of journal publishing and "page fees" from the print journal era. This is not directly relevant to the rise of APCs. -- Jaireeodell (talk) 22:17, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
