Open Access Publishing Fund Application | University Libraries, George Mason University

We can not process applications that do not provide an conforming invoice with this form.

Multiple authors but not all affiliated with Mason? We only fund Mason-affiliated authors. Be sure the invoice you submit shows an amount due that matches the amount requested based on prorating the total publication charge according to the number of Mason authors. For example, total pub charge is $1000 and 2 of the paper's 5 authors have a Mason affiliation. Requested funding should be $400 (2/5ths of $1000) and invoice must show the amount due as $400 and payee should show George Mason University Libraries (not an author). If you are unable to get that sort of invoice, the alternative is to pay fee with departmental funds then request reimbursement of the prorated amount via interdepartmental transfer.

Authors who are allowed to use grant funds for publication fees are not eligible for OAPF support.
