Abstract:

Article Processing Charge（APC）emergences into public view along with the open access（OA）
journals. However, late 20th century, because there is no mature business profit model, renowned publishers
all expressed doubts on OA journals. But now, more and more publishing groups have issued their own OA
platform mainly due to the implementation of APC. This article describes the case of APC of the major wellknown
publishing groups in Europe and USA, and analyzes the system, so as to provide strategic advice on
the development of the OA platform in China.
