What‽ I've published around 5 articles, and I've never paid anything. Is this something new?
It’s possible that the university paid your publication fees so that they didn’t end up on your desk. The university paid for mine, but there for sure were fees.
It highly depends on the field and journals. In my field, most society-run journals are without fees unless you want Open Access.
