A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted, any incentives or supports provided, and the repository(ies) used:
There is no cost to faculty for publishing with any open access journals and sources. There are several varied supports provided so that there is no cost to a faculty member. Funds are available from a faculty member's research grant, department, or the Provost's Office.
Muhlenberg has an Open Access Resolution and the faculty submit the final author manuscript. Over time, Muhlenberg would like to grow this repository and increase faculty awareness so that the percentage of scholarly articles increases.
Each member of the faculty and staff grants to Muhlenberg College permission to make his or her scholarly journal articles openly accessible in the College’s Institutional Repository, as permitted by publishers’ policies and/or copyright agreements.
