Cornell is a signatory for the Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity, a multi-institutional initiative in support of a sustainable transition to open access.
From its inception in 2010, the COAP program has contributed to publication and processing charges for more than 150 open access publications by more than 100 Cornell authors from more than 50 academic departments and programs on Cornell’s Ithaca campus.
The Cornell Open Access Publishing (COAP) program also accepts applications from Cornell authors who are non-tenured faculty members, academic staff members, or students. Funding for articles that meet the COAP eligibility criteria is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; all faculty, researchers, and Cornell community members are eligible to participate in the Open Access program via the funding initiative.

The Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity
The COAP fund was established in the context of the Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity, a multi-institutional initiative in support of a sustainable transition to open access, to which Cornell is a signatory. The universities participating in the Compact “recognize the crucial value of the services provided by scholarly publishers, the desirability of open access to the scholarly literature, and the need for a stable source of funding for publishers who choose to provide open access to their journals’ contents.”
