Open Access - Funding for Article
Processing Charges (APCs) still available
I would like to remind all
academics, research staff (postdocs, research fellows, associates and
assistants) and PGR students that University funding is available to pay for
article processing charges (APCs) to create Gold Open access for your article
or conference proceeding.
Gold Open Access is where the
*
publisher makes the published work freely available via their website,
* version of
work made available is the publisher's post peer-review final version,
* online
version is made immediately available following acceptance for publication.
These charges will be paid for all
journal articles, the research for which has been supported by RCUK/Wellcome
funding. To date, there is still plenty of money available to support this so
do submit your request.
Please note that this support for
APC charges is also available when the corresponding author (including PGR,
Post Docs, Research Fellows or Assistants) is no longer employed or registered
as a student at the University providing:
* the relevant APC relates to a
publication that is based on RCUK funding awarded to the University of
Manchester and the publication identifies the University of Manchester as the
institutional address
* the funding supported the
corresponding author whilst employed (or registered as a student) at the
University of Manchester
* the other eligibility criteria
for funding are satisfied.
The dedicated Library Open Access
website clearly and simply explains the meaning and types of Gold and Green
Open Access, how to check if your paper is eligible for Gold Open Access, and
provides simple instructions for obtaining funding for APCs. Please see the
website at the following link:
The Library do most of the work
for you and with a quick turnaround too, for both Gold and Green Open Access
options. Please use this service.
