Curious about Open Access?

Open Access refers to free, permanent, web-based access to scholarly publications.

Read all about it at our library guide to Open Access.

The University of Florida Open Access Publishing (UFOAP) Fund Pilot Project supports the goal of making UF research findings immediately, freely and globally available. When funds are not available from other sources, the Fund will assist UF authors by paying reasonable article processing fees for publishing in open access journals and for a portion of paid access fees charged by other publishers. 

Policies and procedures, along with the application form, can be accessed on the Open Access website.
