The UWM Libraries continue supporting researchers by underwriting article processing charges for open access journals via the UWM Open Access Publication Fund. With proliferation of open access journals, 9,172 of which are indexed by the Directory of Open Access Journals, we can assist authors to vet the reputation of the journal in question before their submitting an article to it.
We can also help researchers to deposit their publications into the UWM Digital Commons for long-term preservation and worldwide electronic accessibility. Furthermore, we offer assistance for research data management, data sharing, and data management plans including templates for grant applications via DMPTool and other data services.
You will see many librarians in action at the events of the Open Access Week:
