APCs of journals classified in more than one OECD FoS were fractionalized; From the study "The oligopoly’s shift to open access: How the big five academic publishers profit from article processing charges"

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "When analyzing the APC estimates per discipline (Figure 6), the majority of fees can be allocated to journals from either the Natural Sciences ($450.5 million) or the Medical and Health Sciences ($423.1 million). Together, these two disciplines make up 82.7% of the global estimate of APCs paid during the 4-year period analyzed. APCs paid to publish in Humanities journals make up the smallest amount ($8.3 million), which may be explained by poor indexation of journals in WoS, the publishers’ disciplinary portfolios, and the importance of books rather than journal publications. Interestingly, the Humanities and the Social Sciences pay the great majority of OA fees for hybrid OA, accounting for 89.9% and 85.1% of their OA fees, respectively. In the Natural Sciences, authors spent 65.5% of OA APCs on publications in gold journals." The study was featured in 2023 in science
