Open Access publication costs can often be designated directly in the grants or in specific budgets allocated for that purpose. Many of the most important funding organisations encourage, and even request, that the projects they fund are made available at no cost to the wider public. IntechOpen strives to maintain excellent relationships with these funders and ensures compliance with mandates.

In order to help Authors identify appropriate funding agencies and institutions, we have created a list, based on extensive research on various OA resources (including ROARMAP and SHERPA/JULIET) of organizations that have funds available. Before consulting our list we encourage you to petition your own institution or organization for Open Access funds or check the specifications of your grant with your funder to ascertain if publication costs are included. Where you are in receipt of a grant you should clarify:

  • Does your institution already have a budget for covering Open Access publication costs?
  • Does your grant list Chapter Processing Charge as legitimate direct/indirect costs?

If you are associated with any of the institutions in our list below, you can apply to receive OA publication funds by following the instructions provided in the links. Please consult the Open Access policies or grant Terms and Conditions of any institution with which you are linked to explore ways to cover your publication costs (also accessible by clicking on the link in their title).

Please note that this list is not a definitive one and is updated regularly. To suggest possible modifications or the inclusion of your institution/funder, please contact us at funders@intechopen.com

Please be aware that you must be a member, or grantee, of the institutions/funders listed in order to apply for their Open Access publication funds.

Ongoing Institutional Agreements

IntechOpen has established valuable cooperation with the Spanish National Research Council, Universidad de Alcala, Universidad de Barcelona and Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid, offering heavily discounted publication fees to all of its affiliated researchers.

Corresponding authors from the following institutions receive institutional discounts on their Chapter Processing Charge because these institutions have pledged funds via the Knowledge Unlatched program to ensure academics can publish Open Access content more easily.
