UK-based Hindawi (now part of Wiley) is one of the larger open access (OA) publishers that levies article processing charges (APCs) for publication in its 220 OA journals. The APCs range between US$650 and US$2300, with a median of US$950. We assessed if there is a link between the APC of Hindawi journals and two metrics, Elsevier’s Scopus CiteScore, and Clarivate’s Journal Impact Factor (JIF). Whereas 163 journals have a CiteScore (median APC = US$1000), 71 have a JIF (median APC = US$1950), while others with neither a CiteScore nor a JIF (NCNJ) have a median APC of US$650. The APC of journals with a CiteScore differed significantly from those with a JIF. We found a significant positive correlation between CiteScore and AFPC (r = 0.223, p < 0.01), but a weak non-significant positive correlation between JIF and APC (r = 0.162, p = 0.177). The Kruskal Wallis test showed that the medians of three groups (CiteScore, JIT and NCNJ) differed significantly from each other at p < 0.05.

Hindawi 开放获取期刊的索引、指标和文章处理费用 (APC) 是否相关?

总部位于英国的 Hindawi(现为 Wiley 的一部分)是较大的开放获取 (OA) 出版商之一,对在其 220 种 OA 期刊上发表的文章收取文章处理费 (APC)。APC 的价格在 650 美元至 2300 美元之间,中位数为 950 美元。我们评估了 Hindawi 期刊的 APC 与 Elsevier 的 Scopus CiteScore 和 Clarivate 的期刊影响因子 (JIF) 这两个指标之间是否存在联系。163 种期刊有 CiteScore(中位 APC = 1000 美元),71 家有 JIF(中位 APC = 1950 美元),而其他既没有 CiteScore 也没有 JIF (NCNJ) 的期刊中位 APC 为 650 美元。具有 CiteScore 的期刊的 APC 与具有 JIF 的期刊有显着差异。我们发现 CiteScore 和 AFPC 之间存在显着的正相关(r = 0.223,p< 0.01),但 JIF 和 APC 之间存在微弱的非显着正相关(r = 0.162,p = 0.177)。Kruskal Wallis 检验显示,三组(CiteScore、JIT 和 NCNJ)的中位数在p < 0.05 时存在显着差异。
