Wow is that a thing? I have submitted to many journals and none wanted fees before acceptance.

  There is whole cottage industry of journals that will publish basically anything in exchange for a submission fee, being kept alive by desperate PhD students who need a couple of more papers published so they can just get their degree and get out of there.

    When it happened to me it was a "reputable" high-impact neuroscience journal, not Cross-stitch Monthly.

      Was it for open access? Lots of journals charge a fee if you want to make your paper generally available.

        Yes, but they charge after acceptance, not before.

  This is certainly what used to happen - my experience was from 2007 so they might not be getting away with it any more.

  Cerebral Cortex is the only (legit) neuro journal I know of that charges a submission fee. Are there others?
