Step 6. Share Your Research

The University is committed to the principles of openness in research. This step provides guidance and resources to help researchers disseminate, publish, and archive their work.  

Planning for Publication Costs

Many sponsors, including the NIH and NSF, permit publication and dissemination costs to be charged to grant budgets. To estimate appropriate budget amounts, review the Instructions for Authors provided by your target journal or conference.

The University encourages publication in reputable, high-quality journals and conferences. Tools for evaluating journal impact and rankings are available through Citation & Metrics.

Open Access Options

Some journals offer open access (OA) publishing models, where authors pay article processing charges (APCs) to make the article freely available to readers. If external funding is not available, and if your department or college is willing to share costs, the J.Willard Marriott Library provides department-level support for OA publishing through its Author Services program.
