Summary:
"A pilot program that helps faculty defray the cost of publishing in open access journals is suspended due to budgetary constraints. The project is between the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA) and John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
Article processing charges for fully open access Wiley journals are no longer covered by VIVA as of Sept. 17, 2020. Any requests for funding that had been approved are not affected. Faculty or students who were on the verge of submitting a manuscript with the expectation of this article processing funding, should contact Hillary Miller, Scholarly Communications Librarian.

VIVA remains committed to broadening the availability of open access publishing for Virginia authors and hopes to return to this in a future year...."
