Cost of publishing open access: how and why

In light of the 15th anniversary of International Open Access Week, Researcher Academy is launching a three-part module series aiming to give early career researchers an entry point into the world of open access publishing.

In this module, we tackle one of the inevitable and most commonly-asked questions about publishing open access—article processing charge (APC). You will come away with an understanding of what an APC is, why it is asked for, and what different options you can explore to fund your publication.

Created in September 2022.
