If you publish in a journal that has closed access, there is generally no fee to publish.
What field are you in? In the life sciences, there's normally a fee to publish closed-access and a higher one for open-access. My last paper was open access and costed about 3500, compared to 1500 pay walled.
This is actually an amazing idea
Always thought it's a play on machine learning, but I'm most probably wrong.
Seems to work
A community for sharing knowledge (interesting or new methods, scripts, theoretical concepts, etc), asking questions (troubleshooting, asking for suggestions, general concepts, etc) and discussing all topics related to image processing and analysis (show and tell, careers, software, etc).
This community was inspired by the subreddit ImageJ and of course image.sc. It's meant to be a hub to show and tell your pipelines and codes, ask questions about scripting and approaches in any image processing software, bring new ideas and cool tricks, discuss how the field is evolving from classical towards computer vision and machine learning approaches, and much more. We're still a small community, and we'd love to have you to grow and become a lively hub of discussion of this awesome field.
That last neighbor bit.
Editor: remember, you need to have a statement about negatives or limitations, can't have only positives.
Writer: uhh you got it, boss, I'm sure I can think of something.
I want this place to succeed and grow, so let's get active!
