OA Fund Pilot Closed

Princeton University Library’s Open Access Fund pilot has now ended. No additional funding for Article or Book Processing Charges will be made available.

Sustainable open access funding continues to challenge the academy. Since 2020, PUL has funded 224 publications, totaling over $500,000 in charges. After analysis and consideration of market forces and institutional budgets, we have determined that maintaining the fund beyond the pilot stage is not a sustainable investment of Library resources.

We will continue to provide pilot publisher agreements, and invest in Diamond Open Access (free to read, free to publish) initiatives.

The Princeton research community is encouraged to check your publisher’s “Green” Open Access policies, and submit your work to Princeton’s repository
