What is an Article Publishing Charge (APC)?
Answer
An APC is a publication fee charged to authors to make their work available without a subscription, also known as open access (OA) publishing. Authors or their institutions typically pay the APC upon acceptance of the manuscript, with fees varying widely by publisher and journal.
