The University of Connecticut Libraries have established an Open Access Author Fund. If you publish articles in fully open access journals, or are considering doing so, you may be eligible to be reimbursed for a portion of the OA publication fee to the author.
Participating authors must publish in fully open access, peer-reviewed journals. The funds are available to any UConn faculty, post doctoral researcher, staff member or graduate student author, but the applicant must be the corresponding author and must have that UConn affiliation. The published article must also be made available in DigitalCommons@UConn, our institutional repository.
Reimbursement is up to $1250 per article but the author must exhaust other funding avenues prior to applying to the OA fund. This fund is co-sponsored by the UConn Libraries, the UConn Health Center Library and the Vice President for Research.
Further information is available at the Open Access Fund Libguide: http://uchc.libguides.com/OA_AuthorFund If you have questions you can contact your liaison or write to the Libraries’ Scholarly Communication Team at Scholarlycommlib@listserv.uconn.edu.
