Hello!
I was sorry that Dr. Maffetone did not respond to Tawney's question at the top of the episode about why some articles are open access and others are not. I wanted to answer it, if I may. The bottom line is the business model of the publication.
In this case, the authors submitted their paper to an open access journal (https://www.frontiersin.org/about/open-access). That means all the content published within is open access. The "Frontiers" publications use the "author-pay model." That means in this case, "authors, institutions or funders" provided the US$ 2,950 fee (https://www.frontiersin.org/about/publishing-fees).
