Clarifications:

(1) Refers to the cost of author fee, often referred to as APC, which is charged by either a subscription-based journal that requires a fee to publish the article open access, or the fee charged by an open access journal. Fees to book publishers who offer open access publishing of books at a specified cost, are also included.

(2) Refers to equipment and other research material that is not a fixed asset, such as chemicals, literature, software.

(3) What should be reported is the annual depreciation, not the acquisition cost. Costs for directly depreciated consumption inventory (such as computer, telephone, etc.) are not reported as depreciation but as Operating costs/Other costs.
