Fund Established to Underwrite Open Access Journals’ Author Fees

The UWM Libraries are committed to supporting the ability of our faculty and researchers to participate more fully in the scholarly publication process. There are currently more than 7,500 open access journal titles and some of these require that the authors pay a fee once their article is accepted for publication.

The UWM Open-Access Publication (UOAP) Fund has been established to underwrite article processing fees for open-access journals. The fund is supported through Indirect Funds made available to the UWM Libraries. The campus Taskforce on Scholarly Communication and Open Access developed this plan.

Information about eligibility and funding is available at http://www4.uwm.edu/libraries/uoap/
