Queen Mary has an institutional fund, to pay for open access publishing costs for unfunded papers or where no other funding is available. Details outlining eligibility for the Queen Mary Open Access Fund can be found on our Open access and your funder page.

Queen Mary also has a number of deals and agreements with publishers to help reduce costs and streamline the processing of open access publishing. Access to some of these publisher agreements are dependent on your research funder, others are available to all Queen Mary authors regardless of funding.
