Researchers can manage page charges through several strategies:
1. Institutional Support: Many academic institutions provide funds to cover publication fees. Researchers should check with their institutions for available resources. 2. Grants and Funding: Including publication fees in research grant applications can ensure that funds are available when needed. 3. Choosing the Right Journal: Evaluating the cost-benefit ratio of publishing in various journals can help researchers decide where to submit their work. Sometimes, lower-impact journals have more affordable fees. 4. Waivers and Discounts: Applying for waivers or discounts offered by journals can significantly reduce the financial burden.
