Usually it will be the corresponding author’s institution that pays, but there will be exceptions – for example, if the corresponding author is at an institution without an open access policy or open access APC funding, but one of the other authors is based at a UK institution and acknowledges Research Councils UK or COAF funding in the paper, then that author’s institution may be called on to pay the APC. Where authors come from countries which both have an open access policy then the Institutions Open Access Teams may be able to help negotiate a way to share the APC charges.
