The Open Access Publishing Support Program enables GVSU authors to publish scholarly work in open access journals, by providing grants for up to $2,000 of open access publication fees.

Administered by University Libraries

FUND (Please see University Libraries for complete information on Open Access Publishing Support)
Funding of up to a $2,000 is available for newly published (within the past six months), peer reviewed articles in open access journals that charge a publication fee. Articles must be made freely available on the web at the time of initial publication, with no embargo period. Eligible journals must be listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) or meet the DOAJ’s selection criteria.

ELIGIBILITY
Any current GVSU tenure-track, visiting, affiliate and adjunct faculty, staff, and currently registered graduate students apply. An individual author may apply for up to $2,000 in grant funding once per fiscal year (July – June).

DEADLINES
Applications are accepted any time during the academic year.

BUDGET INFORMATION
Open Access funding is granted through reimbursement, which allows you to control how and when the invoice is paid. You will receive specific instructions after a grant is approved. Typically, you will send your invoice and receipt of payment to your department’s Workday administrator to create a transfer request. University Libraries will reimburse department funds when all grant materials are provided.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
Publication costs must be directly associated with making an article openly available.

Costs for reprints, color illustration fees, page charges, and other fees are not eligible. CSCE's Mini Grant Program may be able to assist with these fees.
