ASU Open Access Fund
This text is republished from ASU sources.
In response to an increasing focus on open access publishing by research funders, the ASU Open Access Publication Fund has been created to help cover publishing costs for ASU affiliates.
The new open access fund is supported by the Office of the University Provost and Knowledge Enterprise, with the University Senate’s Research and Creative Activities committee serving in an advisory role.

The fund is administered by the ASU Library, with the ASU Senate’s Research and Creative Activities Committee serving in an advisory role. The maximum award amount is $1,500.
Applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:
- The applicant must be a current ASU affiliate, for whom ASU is their home institution. Manuscripts accepted within 365 days of an ASU student’s graduation or postdoctoral fellow’s separation from ASU are also eligible, provided that the work was submitted to the publisher when the former student or fellow was still affiliated with ASU.
- The corresponding author does not have access to sponsored funding or other ASU internal funds (e.g., RID, IIA, start-up) that could be used to pay all or part of the article processing charges.
- The author has not received an award from the fund during the current fiscal year.
- The journal must either be listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals or be listed by Scimago as a first or second quartile (Q1 or Q2) journal in their field. If you have questions about journal eligibility, contact us.
- Fees charged by publishers and journals with whom the ASU Library already has arranged for open access publishing discounts are not eligible for reimbursement. See a list of ASU Library's open access partnerships below.
- Publications must be made available without any embargo period.
ASU Library is able to provide discounts on APCs with certain publishers as a result of the following partnerships and subscriptions:
