Dear Colleagues and Students,

Re: HKU Libraries Open Access Author Fund – Invitation for Applications

We are pleased to announce that a new "HKU Libraries Open Access Author Fund" will be established on 1 November 2022.

Article requirement

  • Immediate open access peer-reviewed articles

Amount covered

  • Actual expenses for open access article processing charges (APCs), up to US$2,000

Date

  • Only applications prior to the date of publication are accepted
