Open Access Publishing Resources: Publishing and Open Access Resources

Miami University Libraries, working within the OhioLINK consortium and in cooperation with Miami's Office of Research and Innovation, offer researchers intending to publish in Open Access journals certain opportunities for assistance with these journals' Article Processing Charges (APCs).

OhioLINK has negotiated agreements with five publishers for its institutions’ authors. A summary of the agreements and their provisions and limitations is available, with complete information available at the OhioLINK web site.

For additional information or if you have questions, please reach out to the librarians listed in the sidebar or your subject specialist librarian.

Additionally, Miami's Office of Research and Innovation has available funds for publication support under its Publication, Reprint, Exhibition, and Performance (PREP) program.  Under certain conditions, the Faculty Research Committee will approve payment of up to $3000 per scholarly product to defray such expenses as journal page charges, book publication, article or book chapter reprint costs, exhibition or competition costs, and performance or composition costs incurred by continuing tenure-eligible or tenured faculty members, librarians, research engineers, and research scientists. Awarded funds must be spent directly from the specified internal account at the university.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, however, awards for the current fiscal year must be submitted by June 20th. Applications received after June 20th will be processed in the subsequent fiscal year, after July 1st. Awarding of funds is contingent upon meeting the requirements listed below and the availability of PREP program funds.  For more information and to apply for PREP funds, please see the Office of Research and Innovations Internal Funding Programs page.
