There are also differences in page fees of core journals such as Peking University, Nantah University and Science and Technology, ranging from 1,200 to 5,600.
Page fee for Chinese core journals:
1. The page fee is not fixed. According to different publishing levels, the quality of manuscripts is different, and the amount of money per thousand words is also different. Page fee generally refers to the cash fee charged by the editorial department of a formal academic journal to the author after publishing his article.
2. Judging from the elements and procedures of the formation of the page fee itself, the page fee is a voluntary contract behavior of both parties, which is a slap in the face and there is no violation of law and discipline; Judging from the abused and collected pages, the page fees that should not have been collected by the pages are very painful, so the page fees are very wronged, and the accusations for no reason are too much; Judging from the actual situation and people's attitude towards it, the page fee is a very common and normal natural phenomenon in running a magazine. It is common for page fees to be refunded or not, so there is no need to interfere. It is important to purify and standardize the academic environment comprehensively and effectively, and improve the academic research level as a whole.
3. The page fee is generated in the prosperous environment of academic journals and academic research, and its appearance is not accidental, so there is no need to make a fuss.
4. The number of authors, especially the number of graduate students and teachers in colleges and universities is increasing year by year, and the number of academic papers needed is also increasing. Masters and doctors generally need to publish two academic papers in public journals at or above the provincial level. If you don't publish enough papers, you won't get a degree. Teachers' evaluation of professional titles also needs to publish a certain number of academic papers in core journals. It is the demand of college teachers and students to obtain degrees and titles that makes them flock to academic journals, and paying page fees has become a conscious behavior at all costs. For example, the journals of some colleges and universities in Guangzhou have provisions for charging the page fee for papers. Receiving academic papers is usually divided into internal manuscripts and external manuscripts, and generally only external manuscripts are charged according to the length.
5. The editing and publishing of academic journals has cost, and the cost is rising because of the price increase of related commodities and labor. Although there are many academic journals, especially some prestigious academic journals, they never charge a page fee, and even the authors are rewarded. However, as long as it is an academic journal, its editorial department has to modify, edit and publish the manuscript, which requires a lot of manpower and cost. In the author's opinion, the cost of a paper should include two items besides publication fee and editing fee (including manuscript fee, review fee and editing fee): the salary of the editor and the office expenses for maintaining the normal operation of the editorial department.
