A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted, any incentives or supports provided, and the repository(ies) used:
To support and encourage Babson faculty to make use of open access publishing, Babson has joined other research universities in creating an open access fund that faculty can access to cover these publication costs. This policy was adopted in 2016 and is managed through the Babson Faculty Research Fund. Up to $2,500 per publication or author, per year, may be provided.

Funding Guidelines
• Publication charges can encompass some or all of the fees charged by a publisher for
processing services associated with open access publishing, such as submission fees,
article or book publication fees proper, page charges, editing and illustration fees (both
for color and black and white).
• In the case of an article with multiple authors, each author should try to be responsible for
a prorated portion of the publishing fees. If the multiple authors are all Babson faculty,
the article processing fee will be divided between authors.
• An author may request up to $2,500 per individual publication. A maximum of $2,500
can be awarded to an individual author in the course of an academic year. This means an
individual author may apply for multiple articles as long as the funding does not exceed
$2,500.
