Open Access Publication Fund: applications invited

Visser, Naomi <nrv@sun.ac.za> on 2018/03/22 14:50

Researchers at Stellenbosch University (SU) are invited to apply for funding from the Open Access Publication Fund (OAPF) in support of publication in open access journals. Detailed information and guidelines can be found on the OAPF website, but for your convenience a few important points are mentioned here:

Only articles to be published in open access journals accredited in ISI or Scopus will be considered for funding.
Per article, only 50% of the author fees of SU-authors will be funded, up to a maximum of R30 000 per researcher per year. Authors not affiliated with Stellenbosch University are not funded.
Articles published in hybrid/subscription journals will not be funded. Hybrid journals refer to traditional journals that charge annual subscription, but offer an open access (“open choice"), fee-based option to publish individual articles via open access.
All refunds require funding approval prior to refunds being paid out and are subject to the availability of funds. Complete the online application form and allow five work days for the assessment of your application.

For more information or enquiries, please contact:
