4Don't most journals have this mentioned on their website, in their instructions for authors?– Bryan Krause ♦Commented Jul 16, 2022 at 23:32

1You can probably list your areas or disciplines, and some reader may give you a direct answer. I.e., which Elsevier journals that publish X do not charge a fee?– Prof. Santa ClausCommented Jul 16, 2022 at 23:53

@user550049 On the guide for authors page of that particular journal it says "The author does not have any publication charges for open access. The conference organizers will pay to make the article open access."– Ilkka TörmäCommented Jul 17, 2022 at 10:17

Check the journal's website, it will invariably say if the journal is fully open access or not. If the journal is not fully open access, then you will probably be able to publish for free. Even if the journal is fully open access, you still might be able to publish for free. The journal's article processing charge is again something you will be able to find from the journal's website.

"If the journal is not fully open access, then you will be able to publish for free" - Where are you getting this idea? This is not generally true.– Bryan Krause ♦Commented Jul 17, 2022 at 12:44

@user5520049 That journal mentions fees are paid by the conference organizer on their instructions for authors. Someone else already pointed this out in the comments for that specific journal. You should always find this information on the instructions for authors or similar page on the journal web site.– Bryan Krause ♦Commented Jul 17, 2022 at 19:44
