Abstract

Top-tier journals were examined in terms of the financial contributions of authors, including page charges. Such fees began as early as the 1930s and continue to become more common. A comparison within and between the journals in the Sciences and Social Sciences sections of the Journal Citation Reports indicated that Sciences journals more commonly had page charges. A quantitative examination of page fees may provide some insight into the ongoing debate about author-paid open access articles.
