摘　　要：Objective:Open access(OA)publishing makes research more accessible but is associated with steep article processing charges(APCs).The study objective was to characterize the APCs of OA publishing in otolaryngology‐head and neck surgery(OHNS)journals.Methods:We conducted a cross‐sectional analysis of published policies of 110 OHNS journals collated from three databases.The primary outcomes were the publishing model,APC for original research,and APC waiver policy.Results:We identified 110 OHNS journals(57 fully OA,47 hybrid,2 subscription‐only,4 unknown model).After excluding 12 journals(2 subscription‐only,4 unknown model,5 OA with unspecified APCs,and 1 OA that accepts publications only from society members),we analyzed 98 journals,23 of which did not charge APCs.Among 75 journals with nonzero APCs,the mean and median APCs were$2452 and$2900(interquartile range:$1082–3520).Twenty‐five journals(33.3%)offered APC subsidies for authors in low‐and middle‐income countries(LMICs)and/or on a case‐by‐case basis.Eighty‐five and 25 journals were based in high‐income countries(HICs)and LMICs,respectively.The mean APC was higher among HIC journals than LMIC journals($2606 vs.$958,p<0.001).Conclusion:APCs range from tens to thousands of dollars with limited waivers for authors in LMICs.
