Estimating the financial value of scientific journals and APCs using visibility factors: A new methodological approach

Not all scientific journals that offer open access publication charge the same Article Processing Charges (APC), even within the same publishing group. The hypothesis is that this variation is related to the journal's prestige and impact indicators, which reflect the value the journal provides...

The hypothesis is that this variation is related to the journal's prestige and impact indicators, which reflect the value the journal provides to authors. This study examines the relationship between these indicators and proposes a method to estimate the APC that should correspond to each journal.
