Examination of publisher business models.

Main Results:

Online publication is widely adopted, enhancing reader accessibility.
Article processing charges (APC) in open access models pose significant financial burdens for many authors.
The open access system can be profitable for shareholders, influencing publisher strategies.

Conclusions:

The transition to online publishing presents a dual outcome: enhanced accessibility for readers and financial challenges for authors due to APCs.
The economic incentives of open access may impact traditional publishing houses.
