It’s the University’s new fund to enable Essex authors to make as much of their research open access as possible. This is important within academic networks and more broadly, as open access allows both practitioners and the public to access crucial research findings.

The open access (OA) fund can cover article, book, or chapter processing charges. Essex researchers are encouraged to contact oapublish@essex.ac.uk for more information. 

More details can be found on the Library's open access information pages.
