Could you briefly discuss the reasons for this variation and which factors typically influence article-processing charges?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal1\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Article-processing charges (APCs) that authors pay cover the costs of peer review administration and management, website hosting, expert production of articles in PDF and other formats, and distribution of published papers in multiple venues. APCs vary from publisher to publisher. The quality of the journal, publisher size and type, and journal impact can all affect the APCs. Typically, APCs charged by commercial publishers in Europe and the US are higher. Major publishers decide APCs as per the GDP rates decided by World Bank.\u00a0Some journals, in fact, have reduced or removed APCs through sponsorship from a society, university, or other supporting organization. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"question\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">Inability to afford APCs is a very common reason why researchers don&#8217;t choose to publish in an OA journal. So, this is a major barrier to the adoption of open access among researchers. Could you talk about whether journals, publishers, and societies offer discounts and waivers for underfunded authors or authors from low-\/medium-income countries?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal1\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Yes, authors from low-\u00a0and middle-income countries cannot afford the heavy APCs for some journals. Most authors believe that publishing in journals will be extremely expensive for them and that they will not be able to afford it. They also lack knowledge regarding APCs and open access publication. But many publishers have a fee-waiver policy for researchers from developing countries. These policies generally give a full waiver for authors in low-income countries, as classified by the World Bank, or those in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.research4life.org\/access\/eligibility\/\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">Research4Life<\/span><\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"> program, and partial waivers for middle-income countries. However, a large number of OA journals do not require authors to pay. Almost 70% of the journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doaj.org\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">DOAJ<\/span><\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">) do not charge any APC. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"question\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">How can researchers plan for APCs at the time of applying for funds\/grants?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal1\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Some funders allow authors to include publication costs in the budget of the main research grants. When a researcher is applying for the research grant, he\/she must include publication fees also. Authors may need to fulfill specific requirements before being eligible for APC funding, according to funders and organizations. Prior to the release of money, confirmation that these standards are being met may be asked, for instance, as part of an application form, or compliance may be subsequently checked.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal1\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">To be eligible for APCs, authors need to know what the requirements of the funding agency or grant-making programme are; sometimes, funding may only be available for publications in journals with<\/span><b> <\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">complete<\/span><b> <\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">open access and only for those articles published under specific open access licenses, most commonly under the CC-BY\u00a0license.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoCommentText\" style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"question\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">How can researchers utilize their grants\/funds judiciously so that APCs can be covered, if the funder doesn\u2019t explicitly compartmentalize spending on APCs?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal1\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Researchers can wisely use the grants and funds they are receiving. Most of the funds are required for the purchase of software\u00a0and for infrastructure and attending conferences\/presenting papers. Researchers can save some money from this and utilize those funds to cover APCs to publish their research open access. In my opinion, researchers should set aside 5\u201310% of their budget for APCs. When researchers apply for funding, they should, if at all possible, verify the APCs of the journals where they want to publish their work. They need to include that money in the budget proposal. They can also check with their institute if there is funding available for open access publishing. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"question\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">If their funding does not cover APCs and they are not eligible for discounts\/waivers, can researchers still secure financial resources for just APCs and publish OA?
