Q. Do I have to bear the cost of APC to publish Open Access?

When authors choose to publish Gold Open Access, most publishers require the payment of article processing charges (APCs) or article processing fees, which may be charged to the author or to their institution for publishing the articles to make the final published paper freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

Authors will bear the cost of APC to publish in Gold Open Access.

NUS Libraries does not pay for APCs for NUS authors but we have negotiated for discounts and limited waivers with some publishers. For more details on APC discounts with these publishers, please refer to this guide.
