Item Establishing an Open Access Publication Fund(ACRL, 2021) Hight, AlexaFollowing Texas A&M University-College Station’s success with their Open Access to Knowledge Fund (https://library.tamu.edu/services/scholarly_communication/Open_Access/oakfund.html), at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, the Mary and Jeff Bell Library teamed up with the Division of Research and Innovation to seek support for an Open Access Publishing Fund in a commitment to further open access initiatives. The landscape of scholarly communication is changing particularly in the exchange of money between authors, publishers, and readers. The library aimed to support open access publishing by supporting the university’s own authors and researchers. Additionally, the library expected to further outreach on open access initiatives, including the Institutional Repository. Although the fund was limited—essentially a pilot project—the goal was to demonstrate the need to support open access publishing.Item Open Access Publication Fund Annual Report: 2020-2021(2021-08) Hight, AlexaThe Open Access Publication Fund at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi underwrites author publication charges for open access scholarly journal articles, book chapters, and monographs. The fund seeks to encourage greater participation in open access publishing so that Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi’s research is free of subscription barriers and we support the adoption of open science practices that can help sustain Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi’s status as an R2 Doctoral University. Numerous research studies show that OA publishing increases the visibility of publications, thereby increasing visibility, citations, and the use of faculty research all of which enhance the reputation of TAMU-CC and its faculty. Major outcomes for 2020-2021: • The Open Access Publication Fund distributed funds for 34 faculty, staff, and graduate students from 5 colleges/research organizations. • The Open Access Publication Fund supported the publication fees for 16 articles for a total amount of funding distributed of $30,000.Item Open Access Publication Fund Annual Report: 2022-2023(2023-09) Hight, AlexaThe Open Access Publication Fund at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi underwrites author publication charges for open access scholarly journal articles, book chapters, and monographs.
