A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted, any incentives or supports provided, and the repository(ies) used:
The University of Dayton Libraries support the open access to faculty and staff research through financial incentives and support staff. UD promotes the use of eCommons and SelectedWorks.
Since 2013, the University of Dayton, through University Libraries, provides financial support to UD scholars and researchers who wish to publish their work in open access (OA) journals. Funded jointly by University Libraries, Office of the Provost, and Office of Graduate Academic Affairs, the fund is open to UD faculty, research staff, and graduate students.
After an article is accepted for publication in an OA journal, the author can complete the fund application form. If the journal meets the requirements stipulated in the guidelines, applicants will be notified of funding approval and payment will be made directly to the publisher. Authors cannot be reimbursed. The Open Access Publishing Fund will operate on a first-come, first-served basis. The pilot will conclude when all funds have been dispersed. At that time an evaluation of the pilot will be conducted.
Establishment of the $15,000 fund is in response to UD faculty interest in OA publishing.
