AU Open Access Pilot Program Awarded Manuscripts

The Augusta University Faculty Senate (AUFS) launched a pilot program in fall 2023 to finance article and monograph processing fees (APCs) for faculty members who wish to publish their research in eligible open-access, peer-reviewed journals. The Office of the Provost supports the program in collaboration with the AUFS, the University Libraries, and the Office of the Senior VP for Research. The program is being administered through the University Libraries. The program aims to increase the visibility and accessibility of Augusta University's research and scholarship by supporting faculty members in publishing their work in open-access journals. It also works towards creating greater equality of access to information, highlighting student success activities, and contributing towards the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification aspirational imperative. Each college and school was eligible for up to four awards until December 31, 2023, after which the approved requests will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
