Starting from 15 August the prices for publication of scientific articles are going up. What is the reason for this and how to order at the old price?
The sphere of scientific consulting is rapidly developing, which is preceded by an increase in demand for services. Now the prices on the market of scientific consulting are slightly increasing. Today we will find out what this is due to, and what factors generally affect the cost of publishing a scientific article.
Price increase for publishing a scientific article in 2024
Starting 15 August 2024, many publishing houses that publish journals with a percentile of 25, 35 and 50+ will recalculate the cost of publication fees. This in turn leads to an increase in the cost of publishing a research article in such journals.
Reasons for the increase in the price of publishing a scientific article
As mentioned above, the reason for the price increase in August 2024 is the revision of pricing policies within publishers. What can precede this?
- Staffing and capacity. Staffing and capacity includes not only the recruitment of new qualified staff, but also the upgrading of existing staff (e.g. reviewers, editors, translators, etc.). Editors and translators with a specialisation in science may demand higher pay. The higher the qualification of a specialist – the more expensive, but also the higher the quality of his/her services.
- Economic factors. Prices for scientific consulting can change under the influence of the economic situation in the country. For example, inflation and currency fluctuations affect the formation of prices in the market. Since publication fees are usually paid in dollars, the cost of the project will depend on currency fluctuations. It is also worth considering the increase in demand for services.
- Dynamic operation of databases. Leading databases such as Scopus and Web of Science constantly monitor the activities of scientific journals. Because of these checks, the lists of indexed journals are regularly updated as some of them may be included or excluded from the databases. Journals that maintain a stable position for a long time often increase the cost of publication fees during regular updates.
In addition, the following factors may influence the publication price of a scientific article:
- the quality of the manuscript;
- the level of readiness of the material;
- the size of the publication fee in the journal;
- the subject of the journal.
