Read and Publish: Contacts
What to do if my APC is not funded by a Read and Publish deal?
Have you checked the Read & Publish deals and exhausted the possibilities suggested in the Publish section above but still could not find a suitable journal that we have prepaid to the publishers to give you free credits to cover the author's APC for gold open access publishing?
If the journal intended for your publication is not covered by the deals, you can check with your departmental Directors of Research to see whether faculty funding is available or email the Research Excellence Team of the Research Office to see whether there is a central funding available or/and check the BCU Open Access website.
The Library does not have funding for APCs outside the existing Read and Publish deals. Contact Research Support Librarian if you have any questions about this.
