University of Tennessee Libraries Establish Open Publishing Support Fund
The University of Tennessee Libraries and the Office of Research have established an Open Publishing Support Fund.
Here's an excerpt from "Fund for Open Access Publishing Offers Opportunities for Faculty":
The fund, which was founded in the fall semester of last year, provides money to faculty and graduate students wishing to publish in an open access journal. According to the Web site, the open access publishers charge money to the authors rather than the readers to cover the costs of publishing.
The money for the fund comes from an opportunities fund used for the pursuit of various research and scholarly opportunities, said Gregory Reed, vice chancellor for research administration. The Open Access Fund, at the moment, contains $20,000 for assistance.
