Information

The fund’s committee meets on a quarterly basis and assesses the applications for funding received in the past quarter.

Applicants to the fund are required to apply the quarter before the final draft of the article is to be sent to the publisher. If the application is successful, offset of the cost of publication will be funded up to 100%, not to exceed $1,000.

Successful applicants are required to list the fund in the acknowledgements section of the published article. Therefore, final submission of the article for publication must be made after the set announcement date for that quarter’s successful fund applicants.

Payment is made in U.S. Dollars and is distributed directly to the publisher of the open source article.

Primary authors are limited to the funding of 1 publication per quarter, and 2 publications per year.
