I have never submitted a paper anywhere that had a publication fee. You generally pay to submit xor you pay to read, the and case is a distinct minority.

Maybe it depends on the field? Every journal I've submitted to (chemistry/physical chemistry) only asked for money after peer-review and acceptance. And these are the well-respected journals in the field.

You can find a number of reputable journals that charge publication fees, yet still don't make the articles open access.

Google ["page fees"], and you'll find a whole bunch of them.
