Partnership

University of Oxford supports researchers with partial or full coverage of article publishing charges (APCs) in high-impact journals, making your research instantly accessible to everyone, everywhere.

  • You are the corresponding author

  • The article must acknowledge funding from one of the following: UKRI, Wellcome Trust, Cancer Research UK, or the British Heart Foundation.

Please note: Block grant funding does not cover monographs, book chapters, edited collections, or invited/commissioned articles.
