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.
No funds to pay?
Research checked: 2026-10-13Waivers and funding: eligibility is not guaranteed.
- Source-linked policyResearch notes (English), not independently confirmed: A 50 percent discount exists only as agreed with the editorial board. The page does not define lack of funds, country, or any other eligibility. If the board has said no APC will be taken, the author states that APC is covered by the journal or publisher. Open-access application is made after acceptance. Free-form application to the editorial board, copy to openaccess@pleiadesonline.com, plus a letter of consent signed by all authors. Half of the stated OA fee only when the board agrees. A board decision of no APC would cover that APC. Color processing and substantial revision of an already prepared article are outside the APC. No published right to a waiver solely because the author has no funds.Publisher policy ↗
