New ~ Open Access Publishing Discounts and Funding

Open Access Publishing Fund

Milne Library has been awarded $30,000 from SUNY Oneonta's Regaining Momentum initiative to help authors pay for open access publishing costs, often called article processing charges (APCs) or book processing charges (BPCs). 

For the first round of funding--opening in August 2023--SUNY Oneonta authors can apply for up to $3,000 to cover the cost of an APC for a single article, or up to $4,000 for a BPC for a single book. APCs will only be covered for the the corresponding author of peer-reviewed articles published in a Gold Open Access (non-hybrid) journal, and books must be published Open Access to be eligible for this award.

• See the full eligibility details on the new Open Access Publishing Fund page.
