Abstract

Open Access publishing is publishing, and it costs money. At the UO Libraries, one of the ways we are supporting OA publishing though a pilot Article Processing Charge Fund. It is designed to support all researchers - from undergraduates to faculty to staff - in publishing their work in fully open access journals and books. Now in its second year, we can share what works, difficulties we’ve encountered, ways we are expanding financial support for open access publishing, and how this program has facilitated advocacy for open access.
