Thanks - that's useful Mike. Would be interesting to visualise some of 
this data - to see the increase/difference over the years.

I'd found this article by Kozak and Hartley from 2013 
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/asi.22972/abstract which 
found that " only 28% charged authors for publishing in their journals. 
This figure, however, was highest in various disciplines in medicine 
(47%) and the sciences (43%) and lowest in the humanities (4%) and the 
arts (0%)."
