Or, publish to PLOS ONE, the open-access science journal.

I mean, seriously, I would like to publish to one of these, but who has the money to do that?

Thanks, I did not know that fee was added.
I mean, if you consider how much a study costs to get to the point of publication, the publication costs are peanuts in comparison.
There are many other open-access journals, for example these: https://freejournals.org/. But yes, open-access is the way.
Thank you for these extra options. Great link.
Another one, Frontiers:

A Creative-Commons mega-journal that I did not know about. Thanks!
I have a stupid question but what are the costs of a journal like this? I mean, if they don't pay the researchers and the reviewers, what do they do?
