Corrections and how to report an error
Every figure on this site was read from a publisher’s or journal’s own page on a stated date. Pages change, and we misread things. This page lists what we have changed and why, and how to tell us about an error.
Report an error
Write to corrections@journalfees.com with the page on this site, what you believe is wrong, and a link to the publisher’s or journal’s own page that shows the correct figure. A link to the primary page is what lets us act: we do not change a figure on the strength of an email alone, including emails from publishers, because the next reader has to be able to check it too.
What happens next: we read the page you point to, change the figure if it supports the change, record the correction below with the evidence, and reply to you. If the publisher’s page is ambiguous, we show both readings and say so rather than pick one.
Journals and publishers: if your fee page has moved or your policy has changed, the same address works. We re-read a page when told it has changed; we do not take dictation on what it says.
Publishers and source operators that have answered our questions, and what they confirmed: Publisher responses.
Corrections log
Changes to published figures, newest first. Entries where a re-check found no error are included when they changed how a page is presented.
| Date | What | Change and evidence | Reported by |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-27 | Turanian Journal | Record changed from “no clear statement found” to “no author charge stated”. Our first reading used the institute’s page, not the journal’s own; the journal sent us the links on 26 October 2026. Its own pages say there are no fees for submission, editorial processing, peer review or publication, and that articles are published under CC BY 4.0 with authors keeping copyright. Source · Page | Turanian Journal (source page supplied by the journal, 26 October 2026) |
| 2026-10-26 | Company of Biologists | Hybrid line changed from “not stated” to “no” on the publisher page and in the country tables. The publisher told us by email on 22 October 2026 that the hybrid journals do not offer country waivers because they keep a free-to-publish option (articles free to read after 12 months); our question had named Development, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology.

| 2026-10-22 | Microbiology Society | 2027 APCs added (£2,424 Tier 1; Access Microbiology £1,097) next to the 2026 rates; HINARI Group B 50% added to the page summary (it was in our data, not on the page). The Society told us on 21 October 2026 that 2026 rates apply to articles accepted before 17 December 2026 and that the 30% member discount is applied on top of the 50% HINARI discount; its fee page still says only one discount applies, so both are shown.

| 2026-10-22 | Tuhinga (Pensoft list) | Source link pointed to Papahou’s fee section, as in the list Pensoft sent us; Pensoft confirmed the error on 21 October 2026. Now links to Tuhinga’s own page. No figure changed. Source · Page | Own re-check; Pensoft |
| 2026-10-22 | Journal of Orthoptera Research | “Free of charge (Orthopterists’ Society)” clarified to free for all authors. Pensoft confirmed on 21 October 2026 that a sentence about members in Focus and Scope was out of date and removed it. Source · Page | Pensoft |
| 2026-10-21 | Astronomy & Astrophysics | Shown as €1,650 per article; changed to “Subscribe to Open, no APC in 2026”. EDP’s price list still prints €1,650, but EDP announced on 13 May 2026 that A&A stays open access in 2026 under Subscribe to Open without APCs. Five EDP journals added (ESAIM COCV, M2AN, P&S, Proceedings and Surveys; Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena). Source · Page | Own re-check |
| 2026-10-21 | Pensoft | We had held Pensoft figures from pensoft.net/open-access as journal APCs. Pensoft confirmed on 12 October 2026 that these are average publishing costs and that each journal’s own page is the source. Pensoft fields were left empty until we re-read all 69 journal pages on the list Pensoft sent us (20 October 2026). Prices now come from those pages, dated 21 October 2026. Source · Page | Pensoft |
| 2026-10-21 | The Royal Society | APC range £1,200–£3,000 and “hybrid: yes” replaced. Since 2026 the eight former hybrid journals publish under Subscribe to Open with no APC; Royal Society Open Science £1,400 and Open Biology £1,995 are the only APCs. Source page confirmed by Royal Society Publishing on 12 October 2026. Source · Page | Royal Society Publishing |
| 2026-10-11 | Wiley country list | Iran removed from Wiley’s automatic waiver list; Vietnam (50% discount) added. All 109 rows re-read against the live page; no other change. Evidence · Page | Own re-check |
| 2026-10-11 | AIP Advances | APC corrected from $1,500 to $1,800. The journal’s own charges page blocks automated reading; the publisher’s open access page states $1,800. Evidence · Page | Own re-check |
| 2026-10-11 | Diamond open access list | Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar removed: its submissions page sets a EUR 150 publication cost for non-members although DOAJ records no fees. Oil & Gas Science and Technology marked as renamed to Science and Technology for Energy Transition (STET). Evidence · Page | Own re-check |
| 2026-10-06 | DOAJ amounts for US journals | Fresh readings of journal pages differed from DOAJ for mSphere ($4,500 vs $3,500), SAGE Open ($2,100 vs $1,600), Physical Review Research ($2,910 vs $2,755), JCI ($5,800 vs $5,700) and Issues in Information Systems (one-time $500 fee vs “no fees”). Our pages show the journal figure and note the DOAJ one. Evidence · Page | Own check |
| 2026-10-03 | Portugal and France datasets | DOAJ records no APC for Pensar Enfermagem (EUR 150), Motricidade (EUR 300, DOAJ EUR 150) and IJTLD Open (EUR 2,400 for research articles, DOAJ EUR 3,100). Each row carries the journal’s own quote. Evidence · Page | Own check |
| 2026-10-03 | Nature Communications and npj journals | No error; prices re-read from the 2026 price list to build the comparison pages. Evidence · Page | Own re-check |
What we treat as evidence
- Accepted: the journal’s own fee or submissions page; the publisher’s published price list; an archived copy of either, with its date, when the live page blocks automated reading.
- A lead, not evidence: DOAJ records, directory listings, search-engine summaries, third-party blogs, and statements in email. We note them; we do not publish a figure on them.
- Dated: every row carries the date we read the page. A figure with an older date is not wrong; it is older, and worth re-checking before you submit.
