Abstract
This paper introduces a dataset of article processing charges (APCs) produced
from the price lists of six large scholarly publishers - Elsevier, Frontiers,
PLOS, MDPI, Springer Nature and Wiley - between 2019 and 2023. APC price lists
were downloaded from publisher websites each year as well as via Wayback
Machine snapshots to retrieve fees per journal per year. The dataset includes
journal metadata, APC collection method, and annual APC price list information
in several currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, JPY, CAD) for 8,712 unique journals
and 36,618 journal-year combinations. The dataset was generated to allow for
more precise analysis of APCs and can support library collection development
and scientometric analysis estimating APCs paid in gold and hybrid OA journals.
