The Open Access Author Fund has been created to support Open Access publications by early career researchers in the humanities and social sciences. LUP authors may donate all or part of their royalties to the Fund and LUP will match all contributions.
The establishment of the Fund is a response to the challenges faced by early career scholars as Open Access becomes increasingly important for researchers, research funders and readers. With limited resources available for Gold Open Access, early career colleagues face two particular barriers: first, they must compete with established scholars while they build a successful track record of publication; secondly, if Open Access funding is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, early career colleagues may be disadvantaged as they are likely to have joined a department more recently. They are also often subjected to heavy teaching commitments, are less likely to have been eligible for research leave and, above all, are engaged in learning a new career.
- Earnings from the Fund are match-funded by LUP and allocated to a rigorously peer-reviewed publication.
- Publishing decisions are taken by the Press’s editors with input from academic advisors and are based solely on scholarly merit.
- All publications benefiting from the Fund include an acknowledgement.
- To support the Fund, please download and complete this Open Access Author Fund Form and return to Lisa Whittick, Management Accountant or contact her directly.
