Pepperdine Libraries Awards $20K to Faculty in Support of Open Access Publishing

Several years ago, as part of our commitment to supporting open scholarly inquiry, Pepperdine Libraries began awarding open access publishing stipends to faculty. To date, the program has been tremendously successful, awarding more than $20,000 to nearly a dozen faculty members. And, we just recently increased the amount available faculty can apply for. The stipends are used to pay publishers for their article processing charges to prepare articles for open access publication.  By publishing in an open access platform, our faculty’s important work becomes available to the scholarly community in a timely manner. The publications appear in discipline-specific, rigorous, well-respected, peer-reviewed journals. We’re pleased to recognize faculty who have applied for and received stipends.
