An Article Processing Charge (APC) is a publishing fee charged to authors who are publishing in open access journal. The fee shifts the journal production cost to the author and replaces the subscription charge that libraries and researcher would pay to access an article behind a paywall.
The method for computing acceptance rates may vary among journals.
Typically it refers to the number of manuscripts accepted for publication relative to the number of manuscripts submitted within the last year.
