That's the publishers fee, the authors typically don't get paid for their work to be published. It costs a couple grand to get your paper published and free for the general public.

Also a fee for the universities, who need to subscribe to the journals for the authors to be able to read their own fucking work.

Which btw is most often paid for by the respective countries.
