Open Access Support
Publish Open Access
Thanks to agreements between OhioLINK and three major publishers, UD authors can publish open access at no charge in:
- Cambridge University Press-published journals
- Institute of Physics (IOP) journals
- Wiley’s hybrid journals
Contact Christina Beis, Director of Collections Strategies and Services, for UD-specific protocols for open access publishing.
Open Access Publishing Fund
In order to support open access publishing, University Libraries will pay up to $1,000 per article to help offset open access journal fees.
Current UD faculty and graduate students should follow the guidelines below and complete the application form after their article is accepted, but prior to publication.
Open access book projects are also eligible to receive funds. Please contact Christina Beis to discuss your publication.
University Libraries budgeted $7,500 for the 2023-2024 academic year. The fund operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
