A brief description of the open access APC fund:

In addition to offering grants to support open access publishing through the Open Access Publishing Fund, the UNCG University Libraries have partnered with several academic publishers to offer publishing discounts and article processing charge credits to campus authors.

These “transformative” publishing deals allow us to test new publication funding models while supporting the creation and sharing of open access scholarship. Because these deals are new and evolving, there may be frequent changes to the content on this page. If you have questions or want to make sure you have the latest information, please contact Anna Craft (arcraft@uncg.edu).
