Step 6. Share Your Research

The University is committed to openness in research. This step outlines guidance and resources to help researchers disseminate, publish, and preserve their scholarly work.  

Planning for Publication Costs

Many sponsors - including the NIH and NSF - allow publication and dissemination expenses to be charged to grant budgets. To estimate appropriate costs, 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, rankings, and citation metrics are available through Citation & Metrics.

Open Access Options

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