Select Oxford University Press journals allow authors to, for an extra fee, publish their articles in the journal in an open access mode. This allows anyone in the world access to the article, whether they have an online subscription to the journal, or not. The result is greater visibility and readership of your article!
An analysis after just 3 months shows that many researchers, particularly in the biomedical sciences, are using this option. See:

If the University of Illinois subscribes to the journal, the fee for making your article open access is currently $1500. If we do not subscribe, the fee is $2800.
