OA Funding with Swem

W&M Libraries has discontinued its Open Access Publishing Fund. W&M faculty, staff, and students do have access to negotiated agreements for article processing fees (APCs) with a variety of publishers through our membership with the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA). A complete list of agreements available to W&M scholars is on our Discounts on APCs for Open Access Journals page.
