虽然开放获取期刊免费为读者提供文章,但越来越多的人担心作者或研究机构为发表他们的作品而支付的文章处理费(APC)会增加。本研究考察了由两个大型出版商,即BMC(原BioMed Central)和Hindawi独立推出的231种开放获取期刊的APC变化的决定因素。结果表明,大多数BMC期刊在2018年至2020年期间提高了APC,而2020年约一半Hindawi期刊的收费低于2018年。研究发现,BMC提高了引用分数较高的期刊的APC,而Hindawi没有将引用分数作为修改收费的因素。假设作者在选择期刊提交文章时对APC不敏感,但更有可能提交到高引用期刊,BMC的策略可能会增加作者和资助出版物的研究机构的经济负担。
While open access journals provide readers with articles at no charge, there is growing concern about increasing article processing charges (APCs) that authors or research institutes pay to publish their work. This study examines the determinants of APC changes for 231 open access journals independently launched by two large publishers, namely, BMC (formerly BioMed Central) and Hindawi. The results indicate that most BMC journals raised their APCs between 2018 and 2020, while the charges for about half of Hindawi journals were lower in 2020 than in 2018. This study reveals that BMC raised the APCs for journals with higher citation scores, while Hindawi did not consider citation score as a factor in revising charges. Assuming that authors are insensitive to APCs when selecting a journal to submit their articles but are more likely to submit to a highly cited journal, BMC's strategy may increase the economic burden on authors and research institutes funding the publication.
