Contents

  • This is a list of funds to support OA journals. The funds may be hosted by universities, research centers, foundations, or government agencies.
    • Currently, all the funds listed here are designed to pay publication fees at fee-based OA journals. If funds emerge to support no-fee OA journals, they belong here as well.
  • When possible, annotate the funds with their launch dates, end dates (if any), special criteria, funding limits or cost-ceilings, and other notable features.
  • Related lists elsewhere: See the SPARC guide to Campus-based Open-access Publishing Funds, which includes a table of funds and their associated features or policies. The table is less inclusive than the list here in OAD (10 funds as of May 24, 2010), but the tabular organization is helpful. In addition some additional funds can be found with Coaction publishers who also list other funding opportunities.
