What's the best open access journal to publish a new species in? How do I not pay a billion dollars to have my article published? I'm just breaking into publishing and my god the bureaucracy. Help.

Post the preprint on Biorxiv and shop it around to real journals. Or just publish it in Nature or some niche biology journal. A new species is a serious breakthrough people will publish without making you pay.

I was considering PLOS One since they're open access, but the fee was nearly $2,000. They mentioned they waive it in certain circumstances.

What benefit is there to publishing a preprint?

Just remember bureauracy is a double-edged sword. It can make your life a living misery but it can also make it as easy as possible, you have to learn to go with the grain.

Staking your claim to the research if you're worried you might get your discovery stolen. If you have something published somewhere then people can't plagiarize you.
