[2] There is a cost in editing and publishing academic journals, and the cost is rising because of the price increase of related commodities and labor.
[3] Academic journals in developed countries have rich experience in running journals, so China can naturally try to collect publishing fees from them. According to the website, a director of the Academic Journals Management Office of the General Administration of Press and Publication once said that most international journals charge a page fee, which is good for domestic academic circles to form this practice spontaneously in accordance with international practices. However, he said that it is not appropriate for the country to charge a page fee for publishing academic papers without a clear document.
[4] In fact, it is reasonable to charge the paper fee, which is also in line with the relevant provisions of the state. Starting from 1988, the practice of charging publishing fees for sci-tech academic journals has been approved by China Association for Science and Technology.
[5] It can be said that most universities and research institutes in China have gradually changed their attitude of supporting the publication fee, which can be paid from the research project funds.
[7] The main reason for publishing academic papers is to adapt to the transformation of market economy.
