Covering Open Access Publishing Fees
-
USC Library
USC has an agreement with the Wiley publishing group, that states that any manuscript accepted into their library of journals will be published w/ a $1000 subsidy towards the article processing charge until 2026. See: https://libguides.usc.edu/openaccess/transformative &
https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/open-access/affiliation-policies-payments/institutional-funder-payments.html. That means that if the journal's APC is <$1000, that there is no effective charge to you. While I typically do not like journals that charge a fee b/c online hosting costs NOTHING compared to print-publication and this is a source of profit for publishers that relies on our unpaid work, this is still an opportunity for YOU. While journals that charge APCs are less reputable, they receive fewer submissions and so there is less competition and a higher likelihood that your work will be accepted.-
The relevant journals where the APC <$1000 include:
1. Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/7471/journal-metrics)
2. Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/7281)
3. Obstetrics & Gynecology International (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/8272)
There are others, but they cost more money and would require more negotiation with the publisher. Not impossible.
