策
• Berkeley Research Impact Initiative - Faculty, post-doc and graduate
students can apply for up to $3,000 to cover the cost of publishing an
article in an open-access publication. The fund also gives up to $1,500
for the cost of so-called hybrid publications' paid access fees, where
information is freely available but the journal limits the right to
redistribute. The pilot program will last 18 months or until the initial
$125,000 fund runs out. The hope - and challenge - is to find a permanent
funding source.
