APC, page charges, over-length, S2O: what each one means
APC
Article processing charge: a fee per article to publish it open access. It is not the whole cost.
Page charges
A fee per printed or typeset page. It can apply with or without an APC.
Over-length
Pages beyond a length limit, billed at a different rate. Each page pays one rate, never both.
S2O
Subscribe to Open: subscribers keep the journal free to read, decided year by year. Page charges can still apply.
Agreement
A deal between an institution or country and a publisher that may cover the APC. Never automatic.
