Open Access Publishing Programs

Open Access publishing programs enable free publication of articles in scientific journals under Open Access principles. Publishing in this model may involve an additional charge, known as an Article Processing Charge (APC), which the scientific publisher charges to the author. The costs associated with publication can be covered by the university, from a grant or project, or subsidized under various agreements and programs.
