NIH Public Access Policy FAQ

No, Harvard will not pay for publication costs if they should arise.

It is suggested that allowable costs be included in the awardee's grant budget. Please review "Can I charge publication costs to my grant budget under the NIH Public Access Policy?" 

Harvard also recommends authors consider pursuing publishing venues that do not condition publication on the payment of a fee, such as subscription journals, no-fee open access journals, and the subscription route to publication in hybrid journals. Read additional guidance on finding journals that do not charge publication fees.

Contact Harvard Library’s Open Scholarship and Research Data Services for assistance with journal selection and publisher policy review if you wish to avoid publication fees.
