  We don't want to because publishing in open access costs us $2000.
Out of curiosity, what does publishing in closed-access journals cost?

There's no way to be sure. Maybe nothing. Maybe everything.

Or were you just referring to money?

I think the reference would be e.g. to post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28691445 in this page from stuartbman

(«free for the author but kept behind a paywall, or the author pays up front»)

Closed-access journals charge the paper author thousands of dollars per page.

It varies depending on the subject area and publisher. Some are free to publish, some have a few hundred dollars a page or more for color (as though they actually print them still), where others might charge thousands to balance the operation costs of a printing company along with journal subscribers. Some journals essentially demand a first born.
