Funding for Faculty Scholarly Publications

91ÌÒÉ«ÆÆ½â°æ provides several types of financial support to assist faculty with the costs of publishing scholarly work.

Full-time faculty are eligible to apply for these funds. When college funding has been used, 91ÌÒÉ«ÆÆ½â°æ must be acknowledged in the publication. The following guidelines are established by the Provost's Office, with the 91ÌÒÉ«ÆÆ½â°æ Library partnering to provide open access publishing support.


1. Routine Publication Expenses

Covers the common, smaller costs that often accompany articles, chapters or books.

Examples

  • Page charges for journals
  • Offprints
  • Submission fees
  • Reproduction fees for images, graphs or tables
  • Indexing fees

How to apply

Faculty are expected to use start-up or professional development funds first. If those are not sufficient, you may request additional funding through your divisional dean.


2. Open Access Publishing Support (up to $1,800 per article/manuscript)

Support from 91ÌÒÉ«ÆÆ½â°æ Library to help faculty make their scholarship openly accessible. This includes both funding for Author/Article Processing Charges (APCs) and publisher agreements that waive or discount fees.

3. Major Publication Subventions (up to $2,000)

Examples

  • Subvention fees for scholarly monographs
  • Edited volumes where the lead or co-editor is a Hope faculty member
  • Conference proceedings where the lead organizer is a Hope faculty member
  • Open-access monographs that require Book Processing Charges

Restrictions

  • No subvention support is available when faculty involvement is limited to authoring one or more papers in a larger volume.
  • At least four years must pass before a recipient of a major subvention is eligible for another such award.

How to apply

Submit a formal request to the Provost (provost@hope.edu) with a copy of the publisher’s acceptance letter and subvention request.
