Research Councils UK has allocated funding to the College to contribute towards the costs of open access publishing of RCUK-funded research outputs

Research Councils UK (RCUK) has allocated a fund of £729,000 to the College to contribute towards the costs of open access (OA) publishing of RCUK-funded research outputs.

From November 2012 all Imperial researchers are asked to apply to this intermediary fund to cover open access article processing charges (APCs) and other publication charges for any peer reviewed journal or conference paper which has been accepted for publication and is the output of RCUK-funded (wholly or partly) funded research.
