It's quite a contrast to the model of commercial publishing with e.g. SpringerNature's 'Scientific Reports' high degree of centralization and 30,000+ articles per year published at a sticker price of $2590 USD each ($77.7 million in total?).

lots of room for improvement at US universities on open access.
Rockefeller & Caltech doing the best at the moment?
MIT, unsurprisingly high-up the US leaderboard 👍
