Letter to Faculty Members - University Funding of Publishing in Open Access

18 October, 2022

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).
