I've also been looking into journals with already published articles, and it's disheartening (for both CapTech but also just in general) how many journals expect you to pay $1k+ to publish. I can understand the need for processing fees, but I likely wouldn't go with a journal that charges fees, even if some of the larger ones seem to have them. Larger doesn't always mean higher quality.
Unfortunately that is pretty common. Even the best publishers do this. Even so, CapTech tends to publish in fairly low-impact journals despite it costing the same as high-impact journals. That doest mean we wont see exceptions and may see some solid publications, but the trend was for ones that would not have been accepted in my grad school.
