Is it difficult to submit to sci journals that do not charge a page fee?

Due to the high page fee, many authors have begun to turn their attention to SCI journals that do not charge a page fee. Although this is also a good choice, some people are worried about this. SCI journals that do not charge a page fee may be more difficult to select, really Is that so? Let's take a look at the relevant small knowledge sharing of Xiaobian.

There are also many SCI journals that do not charge page fees. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult to submit manuscripts. Most open source journals review papers faster. But not all open source journals are good.

Which SCI is better? Is there a page fee or no page fee?

It can only be said that this is not true at all, because the success rate of SCI submission has little to do with the layout fee. This is related to the quality and grade of the journal. The first area is definitely the most difficult. If you can post an article, it is a top-ranked bull. The second, third, and fourth times, the further you go, the better. Some people even think that the fourth area is very watery. Come on, even if water is SCI, is it true that not everyone can win, and it has something to do with the impact factor. The low impact factor is definitely better than the high impact factor. In short, whether it is good or not has much to do with the layout fee. If the impact factor is low, it will definitely be relatively good even if it does not charge money.

The full name of OA journal in English is OpenAccess Journal, which is translated as "Open Access Journal" in Chinese. Traditional academic journals such as "Nature", "Science", etc., adopt the operation model of charging readers, and readers can only see its content by paying for subscriptions. OA journals, on the other hand, charge authors a certain amount of article processing fees, and then publish the papers online for readers around the world to read and download for free.

The vast majority of paid journals are open access. In a word, readers are not charged, but authors are charged. Those non-open access journals that do not charge fees after accepting articles are not really free, they are only charged by selling databases, they are just charging readers instead of authors. If you buy a database, you will know that it costs tens of dollars to buy an article alone, and they very much hope to encounter open access articles.

Therefore, when the author evaluates the academic level of a sci journal, he cannot simply judge whether it is charged or not, but needs to pass his content as the standard.
