Open Access Fund - Scholarly Publishing - LibGuides at University of Iowa Libraries

"To encourage the University community to consider publishing their research in Open Access journal, the Office of the Provost and University Libraries have established a fund to pay authors fees related to open access publishing. Open access, a publishing model which allows free, immediate access to research, also allows authors to retain intellectual property rights to their research. To recoup costs, open access journals often charge authors publication fees, which can be a barrier to publication in such venues. The fund, administered by University Libraries, will pay publication fees up to:   [1] $3,000.00 for publication in full open access journals, which allow immediate, free access to all their articles upon publication. Check the Directory of Open Access Journals: http://www.doaj.org/   [2]  $1,500.00 for publication in 'hybrid' open access journals.  These are subscription-based journals which allow open access only to articles for which author open access fees have been paid. (Check Sherpa/RoMEO’s list of Publishers with Paid Open Access Options: http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/PaidOA.html) Funding is not available to researchers with grant funding which could be used to pay open access fees."
