Departmental Support for Research Publication Costs
Applications are considered on a rolling basis - Support is limited to 1 paper per fiscal year (July 1- June 30) per faculty member who is a first or senior author.
Recognizing that the costs of publication have risen significantly, especially for open access journals whose fees are mandatory, the Department of Pediatrics is pleased to offer financial support to help offset research publication fees.
The University libraries, as part of their commitment to open access publishing, support memberships with publishers and publications that provide UMN-affiliated authors with a discount on author publishing fees (APCs). You can find out more about the University Libraries' open access principles and the journals supported on the UMN Libraries website.
