Author Processing Charges

Check out our blog post of Author Processing Charges, including why they exist and who typically pays for them.

Preprints

A preprint is a version of a scientific article that is published, typically on a special server, prior to peer review. Learn more about preprints on our Open Access resource guide. 

Predatory Publishing

Predatory journals are from unscrupulous Open Access publishers who exploit the author-pay model by soliciting submissions from as many scholarly authors as possible in order to collect a high volume of article processing fees. Learn more about predatory journals on our Open Access resource guide.
