After resubmitting the paper with minor revisions, they were sent a bill \u2014 US$979 \u2014 to cover the costs of publishing. Alarm bells went off. The invitation had not indicated any fee. The authors were wary of the journal&#8217;s integrity, and had no funding to pay the article-processing charge.
