My research articles are published in Scopus indexed journals which are not an open access, but in my Scopus profile it is showing that the articles are open access. Can anybody please tell me the reason and can it be corrected?
For some journals the APC support from some institute or company. The aim is that to attract the authors.

Dear Prof.
Thanks for your response and now I got clarity about this.
Dear Prof. CSK Raju,
Thank you so much for yours explanation. I thought that the authors should pay for any type of open access, but we didn't paid anything for the journal so I got confused.
As Prof. Nehad Ali Shah mentioned that this Journal might have APC support from some institute or company.
Dear H. A. Kumara Swamy ,
Unfortunately your question remains unanswered. As you rightfully so indicated both journals are so-called hybrid-journals, meaning they have an open access option but if you don’t opt for that it remains behind a paywall as subscription-based.
Those claiming that these are open access journals, have a look here:
International Journal of Applied and Computational Mathematics: https://www.springer.com/journal/40819
Heat transfer: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/15231496/homepage/forauthors.html I quote “Authors who choose to publish using open access will be charged a fee. A list of Article Publication Charges for Wiley journals is available here.”
Those who claim that nevertheless your papers are open access are wrong as well, just have a look here on RG:
Article Analysis of Entropy Generation and Energy Transport of Cu-Wa...
Article Thermal effects of nonuniform heating in a nanofluid-filled ...
So, my conclusion is that Scopus made a mistake in both cases. They are quite recent so it might be corrected. Personally, I would not bother, just be pleased with two fine papers.
Best regards.
