Abstract: |
This open dataset of annual Article Processing Charges (APCs) was produced from the price lists of six large scholarly publishers (Elsevier, Frontiers, PLOS, MDPI, Springer-Nature and Wiley) from 2019 to 2023. APC price lists were downloaded from publisher websites each year as well as via Wayback Machine snapshots to retrieve fees per journal per year. The dataset includes journal metadata, APC collection method, and annual APC list prices in several currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, JPY, CAD) for 8,712 unique journals and 36,618 journal-year combinations. The dataset was generated to allow for more precise analysis of APCs and can support library collection development and scientometric analysis estimating APCs paid in gold and hybrid OA journals. |
