Open Access Publication Costs Policy

Summary:
"CHDI is committed to ensuring the wide dissemination of the findings and data resulting from the research that it funds. To that end, CHDI helped establish PLoS Currents: Huntington Disease as a free, archived, indexed, citable, open-access publishing platform for the HD research community. So as to not discriminate against researchers who want to publish their findings and data in non-HD journals, we will give full consideration to meeting open-access publication costs; if publication is not in a fully open-access journal then we will consider covering the extra cost above and beyond paid subscription access. Reimbursement of publication costs will be handled outside of any Research Agreement and should not be included in budget proposals. All open-access reimbursement requests should be forwarded to the Director, Scientific Communications at simon.noble@chdifoundation.org. Discussion is encouraged at an early stage to ensure that publication costs are eligible for reimbursement."
