1,500 90 We have a $1,500 cap per individual per year but definitely have authors who
are paying above that amount in total APCs.
1,500 300 According to the rules of the fund, $1,500 was the maximum award amount
from the fund. Many authors had funding requests that exceed $1,500 and the
fund was able to pay the first $1,500 for those authors.
1,500 600 The fund’s allocation limit is $1,500/article. The highest APC for an approved
article was $3,000.

2,000 300 We placed a cap on the amount we are willing to pay for an APC at $2,000, so
while we have had applicants who have sought more (up to $5,200), we have
only offered up to $2,000.
