Effective Research Publishing Handbook

From 1 January 2025, Wellcome will only fund the cost of article processing charges for research articles published in fully open access journals or platforms indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals.

The university is in receipt of a very small grant that may be available to support open access articles that fall outside our current publisher agreements. Eligible Swansea University authors only, budget permitting.

For further details on the Wellcome Open Access policy visit their website.

Open Access Funding Information 

• The corresponding author must usually be a current member of Swansea University and use a Swansea University email address.
• The application for financial support should be made at acceptance by completing the Word application form.
