Does all scopus index journal whether Indian or International charge very high as a processing fees ? No, this is not always the case. In addition, there are Scopus indexed free journals.
Thank you so much for asking this important question, I just like to tell you that most of indexed and trusted journals under trusted covering from many international publisher like IEEE, Elsevier, Springer, ..etc ARE FREE OF CHARGE !!! excluding the so called open access journals.
I think only few journals of SCOPUS charge for review and publications. However, the the journals now a days give the researcher the option of making the paper open access or not, if researcher choose yes for open access then the journals charge for this decision.
If you already have the title and abstract for your article you can use the following tools from Elsevier and Springer to help you pick a right journal among those that belong to the respective publisher
http://journalfinder.elsevier.com
http://journalsuggester.springer.com
The above two sites give journal impact factors and average processing times, as well as publication fees and/or open access fees. In many cases you can publish free of charge if you agree that your article is NOT open access (i.e. available to journal subscribers only) but you should check this separately for every particular journal.
For any journal, you can check whether it is indexed in Scopus using the links from here
Many journals allow the authors to post a preprint version of their article on their personal web site or at a repository like arXiv.org but you should check each journal specifically for that (and for the exact definition of what does this particular journal mean by a preprint). This is commonly known as self-archiving or green open access. Of course, this probably would NOT suffice if you are officially required to publish open access by, say, your university or your grant agency .
Also, many Springer journals let you share your article via ReadCube so that it can be read by anyone (but cannot be downloaded if one has no valid subscription) who has a sufficiently modern browser to handle enhanced PDF; for example the published version of my recent article Integrable (3+1)-dimensional systems with rational Lax pairs can be read in this way here: http://rdcu.be/Dkwh .
This can be a reasonable substitute for open access ( unless you are officially required to publish open access by, say, your university or your grant agency ), but again you should check this for each journal separately whether this feature is available for it; see also https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/sharedit for details.
You can visit Scopus website, choose your subject area, a list of journals will appear with CiteScore values arranged from high to low (can be reversed). Then you can choose the most suitable journal for your paper. Additionally, you can choose the open access journals only by clicking on "Display only Open Access journals" on the left. Noting that you must check the "Discontinued-sources-from-Scopus" list to ensure the target journal is not discontinued.
The good journals never charge you processing fee, whether they are indexed in Scopus, SCI, SSCI, ABDC. so try to publish your paper in unpaid journals.
There are a number of journals in ABDC which do not charge a single penny.
Few leading publishers have both kinds of journals (paid/unpaid).
Like in Elsevier (few in economics/energy journals ask for submission), Wiley (few in economics), Emerald (only open access), Springer (few in medicine), Inderscience (none) and Sage (few but not in management), just because few of them charge it doesn't mean all of them charge (processing or submission fee).
So concentrate on those which do not charge any fee. All the best.
There are a large number of journals indexed in Scopus that are free. Please select journals from publishers such as Emerald, Taylor and Francis, Inderscience, etc.
Does all scopus index journal whether Indian or International charge very high as a processing fees ? No, this is not always the case. In addition, there are Scopus indexed free journals.
It totally depends on what journal you're publishing, if your paper is good you can submit it to any Hybrid Journal. They'll publish it free if as per their standard
Scopus is a bibliographic database, and as such it contain many kinds of journals. There those that charge fees for production, and there are journals, especially the subscription ones, that do not charge.
I suggest do not publish your paper in paid journal, There are a number of good journals listed in ABDC and SCOPUS, which do not charge publication fee. So go for unpaid journals
Charging APC does not depend on the indexing database, it is the decision of the publishers, and journals charging APC could be indexed in databases other then Scopus.
