Please send a message if you discover a publisher who is charging a service fee to upload articles to PMC.
One must be very careful to distinguish between an "Open Access Publishing fee" and an actual service fee to upload articles to PMC.
American Psychological Association21 July 2008 ::: update to policy listed here:
A previous APA Web site posting of these author instructions that included reference to a publication fee for manuscripts based on research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since October 1, 2007, is currently being re-examined and is not being implemented at this time. APA will continue to deposit NIH-funded manuscripts on behalf of authors in the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central (PMC) in compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy. http://apa.org/journals/authors/pubmed-deposit.html
- In compliance with NOT-OD-08-033, APA will deposit the final peer-reviewed manuscript of NIH-funded research to PMC upon acceptance for publication. The deposit fee of $2,500 per manuscript for 2008 will be billed to the author's university per NIH policy. Deposit fees are an authorized grant expense.
- The NIH policy applies only to peer-reviewed journal articles, including research reports and reviews that were directly supported with NIH grant funds—not book chapters, conference proceedings, editorials, or correspondence.

American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biologyhttp://www.jbc.org/misc/Publishing_Options.shtml- This service will be free for ASBMB members and will cost $50 for non-members. The $50 fee covers the cost to the publisher to tag and upload high resolution figures and supply supplemental data from our vendors to PubMed Central. [ASBMB membership currently costs $140/yr and includes many additional benefits so you may wish to consider joining and receive this service free of charge. http://www.asbmb.org/.]
