Objective: Analyze the journals indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) that have articles by authors with a Brazilian institutional link in the year 2020. Identify the journal editorial characteristics, describe the title access types, and discuss the article processing fees. Methodology: It was bibliographical and documentary research. The universe was composed of 52,585 articles published in 4,453 journals. Data collection used WoS, Journal Citation Reports (JCR), and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Results: The results show a high concentration of journals published by commercial publishers (74.74%) with an Impact Factor (IF) between 2,001 and 3,000. It identified that 3,707 (83.25%) are journals with access via subscription and only 746 (16.75%) in open access (OA), with 581 (13.05%) OA titles charging fees to authors (APC) and 165 (3.71%) AA without APC. The average APC of articles published by Brazilians was US $ 1,946.20. Conclusions: commercial publishers dominate the scenario of publications by authors with institutional ties in Brazil, where the APC values ​​are directly related to the journal's Impact Factor. Furthermore, researchers respond to international science assessment systems and publish most in mainstream titles that make up the commercial editorial oligopoly.
