I have been considering to apply/volunteer as a reviewer og editorial member of the coming journal The International Journal of Biodiversity and Conservation, to be published by Africa-based Academic Journals. They are founded on an open access policy which in the case of this publishing house entails that authors have to pay a handling fee for publishing, whereas all published articles are openly and freely available online.
Another publishing house with an identical name (which published online as well as in print), Academic Journals Inc., is apparently one of the biggest scientific publishers in Asia.

Morten: It's true that many OA journals charge author-side publication fees. But it's not true that OA "entails" such fees. In fact, the majority of OA journals do *not* charge publication fees.
Best,
Peter
Thanks for that.
