Requirements and Reimbursement Procedure
For applicants seeking funding to support publication costs associated with open access journals and books: only works without other means of publication support, such as external grants or department and college resources, will be eligible.
Please note:
- published works must be licensed with a Creative Commons license
- a copy of the article will be posted by University Libraries personnel in the university's institutional repository, SHAREOK, for maximum visibility and preservation
- authors are required to acknowledge the funder(s) within the final publication. Applicants will be provided the required acknowledgment when their funding is approved.
Reimbursement is made after publication and proper documentation of publication fees payment is received. Documentation must indicate payment from a university fund in the form of a copy of the OU Activity Report showing the expenditure line and cash line with the full chartfield spread. We are unable to reimburse payments made with a personal credit card, personal check, or similar form of personal payment, or from institutions other than OU. We are unable to reimburse more than the invoiced amount. Applicants are responsible for securing the remaining funding from their college and department and are encouraged to discuss funding availability and process with college and department representatives before submitting an application for funding. Reimbursement requirements are explained in full when funding is approved.
