Submission administration
Where a journal applies a submission fee, it is disclosed before a manuscript is submitted and relates to initial editorial administration. It never determines evaluation, review or a decision.
Open-access publication
An APC applies only to the accepted open-access route. The relevant account record confirms any publication and production requirements before payment is requested.
Reader purchase
An individual article price or subscription applies only to the reader-access route stated on that article record.
