Answers are AI-generated from CASRAI’s own published pages and can be wrong, so check the linked sources before relying on one; your question is logged without personal data — never sold, never used to train a third-party model — to show us what CASRAI is missing, so please do not type personal or confidential details. How we use this

Models for charging vary, with some charging a fee per page for all pages, and some having an initial maximum allowance (eg 6 pages) and then charge for additional pages. Prices vary considerably between journals. The journal will not usually publish the paper until page charges have been paid. Not all journals charge page charges. Page charges can occur for open access (OA) and non-OA articles.
