University of Manitoba - Libraries - Open Access Authors' Fund

The Open Access Authors' Fund is designed to pay the fees charged by publishers for articles to be published in Open Access (OA) journals. These fees are often referred to as 'author fees', 'author payments', 'open access charges', 'article processing fees', or 'submission fees'. The Open Access Authors' Fund is provided by the Libraries at the University of Manitoba. The Libraries initially began supporting UM researchers OA fees for certain publishers in 2010/11, but beginning October 22nd, 2012 we will extend coverage to all open access journals that are eligible.
