Dear faculty members,
The Hebrew University encourages research publishing in journals with Open Access (OA). To this end, we are working to subsidize the price of publishing in this format. There are publishers who have already signed an agreement whereby HU faculty members who are main authors (PI) publishing articles via OA are not charged a fee (for a current list of journals and more details see here).
In journals where there is a fee (even if there is an agreement with the publishers), the HU will subsidize the price of publication in OA (often referred to as APC – Article Processing Charge) in the following conditions:
- The APC will be fully funded by the University up to a sum of $500; above this sum, it will fund 50% of the APC.
- This arrangement is for articles that were accepted for publication after 1/10/2022 in journals ranking in the first quarter (Q1) according to the Scopus compilation (the list is found here).
- HU faculty members applying for the support are considered as PI in their articles.
For special circumstances, such as fields in which there is no Q ranking (which can be the case in Humanities and other areas), decisions will be made by management with a justifiable application.
To receive a refund, fill out the form at the Library Authority (link here – access to form via google account: hujimail/gmail/etc).
Further details are available by writing to: openaccess@savion.huji.ac.il.
Sincerely, Tamir Sheafer
