For nearly 15 years, Cornell University Library provided monetary awards to eligible Cornell authors to cover reasonable article processing fees for publication in open access scholarly journals and books when funds were not otherwise available. For most of these years, funds awarded by the Cornell Open Access Publishing (COAP) program came from the Library’s budget for collections. Since the launch of COAP in 2010, open access publishing has become a mainstream option, as authors have increasingly seen the benefits of worldwide, barrier-free access to their work. Campus demand has long since outstripped available Library funds and in recent years, annual COAP funding has been depleted midway through the academic year. Given the financial challenges facing the University in 2025, the Library has decided to close the COAP program. We will continue to advocate for open access to scholarship and to support the costs of open access in other ways. Our Open Access Publishing Guide outlines various Library arrangements that ease the open access publishing burden on Cornell authors.
