  • Authors must be currently affiliated with UAB
  • Authors must be either the lead or corresponding author on the article
  • The article must be a Research Article, a Review Article, or a Case Study
  • Submission and acceptance dates:
    • Hybrid open access journals - The article must have been accepted on or after January 1, 2025 
    • Gold open access journals - The article must have been submitted or accepted on or after January 1, 2025

Once 100 APCs are funded during the calendar year, UAB affiliated authors will be eligible for a 15% discount on APCs if they choose to publish open access.
