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.

- Source-linked policyResearch notes (English), not independently confirmed: APC waivers are not offered for open access in hybrid titles. Authors without OA funds use the subscription route. Discretionary APC waivers apply only to fully open access journals and require financial need. For fully OA journals, at manuscript submission; requests during review or after acceptance are not considered. That timing does not open an APC waiver for this hybrid journal. Subscription selection after acceptance. Fully OA requests are made inside the submission system. Subscription publication without an APC. Hybrid open-access APC.Publisher policy ↗
