Open access (OA) publishing via article processing charges (APCs) is growing as an alternative to subscription publishing. The Pay It Forward (PIF) Project is exploring the feasibility of transitioning from paying subscriptions to funding APCs for faculty at research intensive universities. Estimating of the cost of APCs for the journals authors at research intensive universities tend to publish is essential for the PIF project and similar initiatives. This paper presents our research into this question.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Methods . We identified APC prices for publications by authors at the 4 research intensive United States (US) and Canadian universities involved in the study. We also obtained APC payment records from several Western European universities and funding agencies. Both data sets were merged with Web of Science (WoS) metadata. We calculated the average APCs for articles and proceedings in 13 discipline categories published by researchers at research intensive universities. Wealso identified 41 journals published by traditionally subscription publishers which have recently converted to APC funded OA and recorded the APCs they charge.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results . We identified 7629 payment records from the 4 European APC payment databases and 14 356 OA articles authored by PIF partner university faculty for which we had listed APC prices. APCs for full OA journals published by PIF authors averaged 1775 USD; full OA journal APCs paid by Western European funders averaged 1865 USD; hybrid APCs paid by Western European funders averaged 2887 USD. The APC for converted journals published by major subscription publishers averaged 1825 USD. APC funded OA is concentrated in the life and basic sciences. APCs funded articles in the social sciences and humanities are often multidisciplinary and published in journals such as PLOS ONE that largely publish in the life sciences.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Conclusions . Full OA journal APCs average a little under 2000 USD while hybrid articles average about 3000 USD for publications by researchers at research intensive universities. There is a lack of information on discipline differences in APCs due to the concentration of APC funded publications in a few fields and the multidisciplinary nature of research.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Актуальность</title><p>Актуальность. Публикация результатов научных исследований в открытом доступе (Open Access, OA) с использованием платы за рассмотрение и подготовку статей к публикации (Article Processing Charges, APC) развивается как альтернатива модели платной подписки. Проект Pay It Forward (PIF) исследует процессы перехода научно-исследовательских университетов от финансирования платной подписки на научные журналы к финансированию доступа к ним за счет APC. Анализ стоимости APC в журналах, где стремятся публиковаться сотрудники научно-исследовательских университетов, необходим для развития PIF и аналогичных проектов. Настоящая статья посвящена изучению данного вопроса.</p></sec><sec><title>Методы</title><p>Методы. Был определен размер APC, взимаемой с авторов научных публикаций, в 4 научно-исследовательских университетах США и Канады, участвующих в исследовании. Кроме того, были получены данные о размерах APC из нескольких университетов Западной Европы и научных фондов. Оба набора данных были объединены с метаданными Web of Science (WoS). Был рассчитан средний размер APC для статей и материалов научных конференций, опубликованных сотрудниками научно-исследовательских университетов, по 13 категориям дисциплин. Был также выбран 41 журнал, издатели которых не так давно перешли с традиционной модели подписки на модель ОА, и собраны данные о APC, которую они взимают.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты . Было проанализировано 7629 платежных записей из 4 европейских баз данных, отражающих платежи APC, и 14 356 метаданных статей ОА, опубликованных исследователями университетов-партеров проекта PIF, для которых была указана стоимость APC. APC за статьи в журналах «золотой» модели открытого доступа, опубликованных исследователями из университетов-партнеров проекта PIF, составили в среднем 1775 дол. США; APC в журналах открытого доступа, оплачиваемые западноевропейскими фондами поддержки науки, составили в среднем 1865 дол. США; APC в журналах гибридной модели, оплаченные западноевропейскими фондами поддержки науки, составили в среднем 2887 дол. США; APC в журналах, перешедших на модель ОА, ранее издававшихся за счет подписки, составили в среднем 1825 дол. США. Показано, что ОА, финансируемый за счет APC, более характерен для естественно-научных и фундаментальных дисциплин. ОА-статьи, финансируемые за счет APC, в области социальных и гуманитарных наук часто имеют междисциплинарный характер и публикуются в таких журналах, как PLOS ONE, которые в основном специализируются на естественных науках.</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы . APC в журнале «золотой» модели открытого доступа в среднем чуть ниже 2000 дол. США, в то время как публикации в гибридных журналах в среднем стоят около 3000 дол. США. Существует недостаток информации о дифференциации уровня APC в различных дисциплинах в связи с тем, что такие публикации сконцентрированы в нескольких научных областях, а также в связи с междисциплинарным характером исследований.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>плата за подготовку статьи к публикации (АPC)</kwd><kwd>плата за подготовку статьи к публикации (АPC) в открытом доступе</kwd><kwd>образование в сфере науки и медицины</kwd><kwd>научная политика</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>APC charges</kwd><kwd>APC charges open access</kwd><kwd>Science and Medical Education</kwd><kwd>Science Policy</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group xml:lang="ru"><funding-statement>Фонд Эндрю У.
