Open Access

As of March 26, 2024, the Open Access Publication Funds have been depleted. You may fill out the following form indicating interest in the funds, to help us track the interest for future funding requests. Please email ScholarlyCommunications@tamucc.edu with any questions or concerns. 

We are pleased to announce that the Open Access Publication Fund is accepting applications for FY 2023-2024.

Thanks to the generous support of our funding partners (Bell Library, Division of Research & Innovation, and the Office of the Provost), $45,000 is available to support TAMU-CC authors publish their work through gold open access. 

For 2023-2024, we have made a policy change regarding the Open Access Publication Fund. This change is as follows: 

• Due to a rise in applications to journals that may be considered predatory, we are asking authors to search for the journal in which they would like to publish in reputable indexes or indexes appropriate based on discipline. Some examples include: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and Web of Science. Please see the Predatory Publishing guide for more information. 

  Please note that if you are not able to find your journal indexed, it does not automatically mean the journal is predatory, but we may need to look into the journal a bit more. 

Please contact ScholarlyCommunications@tamucc.edu with any questions or concerns.
