Henry Madden Library is pleased to announce that limited funding will be available for the Open Access Publishing Fund for 2020–21.

A recent study by Our Research found that a growing proportion of scholarly journal articles are available as Open Access, and that Open Access articles are viewed more often than those that are paywalled. The library’s Open Access Publishing Fund aims to provide support funding for Fresno State authors to publish their work in Open Access journals.

All faculty and graduate students may apply for up to $2,000 to support publication of Open Access articles that have been recently accepted or that have been published since July 1, 2020, in peer-reviewed, Open Access journals.

Funds will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until exhausted. To apply, visit Madden Library’s Open Access Fund Webpage.

For questions regarding the fund or about Open Access, contact: David Drexler, Scholarly Communication Librarian, at 559.278.3144 or ddrexler@csufresno.edu.
