Twenty-six Clemson researchers received awards from Clemson Libraries’ Open Access Publishing Fund in the Spring semester to help publish their work in open-access journals. Researchers can receive up to $1,500 to pay for publishing costs in peer-reviewed, open-access journals, making their work more broadly accessible to the general public.
Faculty and graduate student researchers from a variety of disciplines received the funding, including psychology, biological sciences, physics and astronomy, and plant and environmental sciences. For example, Sagar Adhikari, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, received funding to publish his article, “Constraining the PG 1553+113 Binary Hypothesis: Interpreting Hints of a New, 22-year Period,” in The Journal of Astrophysics. Adhikari and his co-authors analyzed more than 100 years of data to discover a potential binary supermassive black hole. Read more about Adhikari’s research here.
“By awarding Open Access publishing funds, we show our commitment to advancing knowledge and empowering our researchers to share their work without barriers, promoting global collaboration and innovation,” said Karen Burton, science librarian who manages the Open Access Publishing Fund. “Supporting Open Access is crucial for fostering a more inclusive and equitable academic community, and we are proud to assist our scholars in making their valuable contributions widely available.”
