Jefferson’s Open Access Publishing Fund reimburses authors affiliated with Thomas Jefferson University up to $2,500 for article processing charges (APC) for publication in qualified, fully open access journals.
Workflow:
Thomas Jefferson University supports open access publishing through two channels: first, transformative (read-write) agreements with publishers and second, funding to authors. Transformative agreements provide no-fee open access publishing with a small group of publishers. These publishers are listed in the column to the left. As our transformative agreements begin with manuscript submission, please check to see if your journal is covered by one of these agreements prior to submitting.
If your journal is not covered by one of our agreements, Jefferson provides financial support to Jeffersonians through the Open Access Publishing Fund. Financial support from the fund covers Article Processing Charges (APC).
Open Access Publishing Fund Policies:

Journal Qualifications:
You may find it helpful to review the guide on predatory/deceptive publishing.
If you are unsure if you or your journal meet these criteria, please complete the Open Access Funding Inquiry form and the fund administrators will get back to you. If you have other questions, please contact Beth Ten Have.
