Publishing

1. Research Experience for Medical Students (REMS) project funding: Each REMS student has $1,000 to use for either publication fees or travel/presentations. The manuscript must be directly related to your REMS project and not a case report or other paper. Visit the website for more information.

2. The Office of the Associate Dean of Research offers a Trainee Publication Award to the following: undergraduate students who co-author with an SMHS corresponding author or PI; SMHS graduate students; SMHS allied health students; non-REMS medical students; SMHS post-doctoral fellows; and SMHS residents.

NOTE: Funding through REMS and the Trainee Publication Award may require publication in a journal indexed in Medline. To determine if your journal qualifies, look through the NLM Catalog. Within a journal's description, there will be a line saying indexed or not indexed (see below).

3. Library Resources pays for a BMJ Case Reports institutional fellowship. This fellowship allows UND-affiliated students, residents, faculty, and staff to publish case reports without having to pay article processing charges. Contact ONE OF THE CAMPUS LIBRARIANS to receive the UND fellowship code. IMPORTANT NOTE: You must use the BMJ Case Reports patient consent form.

4. So-called "transformative agreements" are based on the premise that publishing industry practices are not sustainable, and contracts need to transform toward open access. Two types of transformative agreements that we have signed institutional contracts for are Subscribe to Open (S2O) and Read & Publish (R&P). These agreements allow UND faculty, students, staff, etc. to publish at no cost. While it may still be going the for-profit publisher route, these agreements minimize or eliminate the financial burden that arises with Author/Article Processing Charges (APCs). These are often Open Access, but not always.
Affiliates of UND with a @UND.edu email address are eligible to submit publications under these licenses, unless otherwise specified.
We have signed agreements with the following publishers:

Subscribe to Open (S2O) agreement, which converts new volumes to open access with sufficient support from enough subscribers. Continued support is required for journals to remain open on a year-to-year basis.
Our read access covers most journals in the Science Collection.

Covers all ACM Digital Library articles, including research articles, review articles, and conference or proceedings papers.

Allows UND authors to publish Open Access without additional cost in any Cambridge UP titles. Researchers can also retroactively change the status of their article to Open Access.

Allows UND corresponding authors to publish their articles open access with The Company of Biologists at no additional cost to themselves or UND. This agreement is part of UND's license with The Company of Biologists and has been added to the subscription package at no additional cost.

UND corresponding authors can publish an unlimited number of Open Access articles in 500+ OUP fully and hybrid OA journals. Articles will be published under a Creative Commons license.

Excludes Nature journals, some BioMed Central (BMC) journals, and gold open access titles, but covers thousands of their hybrid open access journals.
