OsloMet's Publication Fund
OsloMet’s publication fund provides faculty funding for publishing in fully Open Access (Gold OA) publications. Gold Open Access refers to publications that are free and openly accessible online.
See also OsloMet's Publish-and-Read agreements with the leading publishers. The majority of these agreements cover OA publishing in subscription (hybrid) journals, however, for some publishers gold journal titles (fully Open Access) are included.
