  • Publication Support Fund Application

    With the current reclassification of ÈâÈ⴫ý becoming an R3 Institution, the demand for quality research and publication has increased. Currently, journals and publishers are more frequently turning to an Open Access model, which increases the financial requirement of publication. To this point, many high quality journals charge fees simply to cover publication costs. With this in mind, researchers may feel less inclined to submit manuscripts to higher-tier journals, due to the fees associated with publication. In addition, many book presses now request indexing, professional editing, and subvention fees. In an attempt to relieve this financial burden as well as to encourage submission to top-tier journals and high-quality academic presses, the WCHHS Publication Support Fund is designed to assist faculty and students paying for fees associated with publication.

    Who is Eligible?

    Current faculty and students affiliated with the Wellstar College who are submitting works to non-predatory journals and peer-reviewed academic presses for books and edited volumes that require page or publication fees. In addition, graduate students who have already graduated may be eligible when attempting to publish their theses with faculty co-authors. Additional approval will be required from the Office of Fiscal Services.

    What are Predatory Journals?

    Predatory journals are questionable open-access journals that charge for publication but lack the code of conduct and normal rigor affiliated with acceptable journals. Please visit Think, Check, Submit for more information.

    Faculty and students can apply for publication funds through the Office of the Dean for the purpose of publication of articles, books, book chapters, or research manuscripts created at ÈâÈ⴫ý. Funds will only be allocated for publication fees of completed works inclusive of subvention fees, publication costs, indexing, and professional editing. The Primary Author must be currently affiliated with ÈâÈ⴫ý State University and the Wellstar College OR a former graduate student who has graduated and is attempting to publish their thesis with one or more faculty co-authors should request funds. The Primary Author must have

    • Contributed substantially to the conception and design of the study, the acquisition of data, or its analysis and interpretation
    • Drafted or provided critical revision of the article/book/book chapter
    • Provided final approval of the version to publish
    • Agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

  • Student Support Fund Application

    The WCHHS Office of the Dean recognizes the importance of the professional development for its undergraduate and graduate students and thererfore has created the WCHHS Student Support Fund for facilitating current WCHHS students' development outside the classroom. The WCHHS Student Support Fund will reimburse any appropriate costs of a student's trip so long as all travel-funding guidelines have been followed.

    Due to the demand for this program, financial support from the Office of the Dean may become limited. As a result, the Dean must impose a hierarchical approach for the selection of applicant funding. This heirarchical approach will be based on funding availability and use/or availability of other financial resources (e.g. Student Organizations, CETL, NCUR, URCA, etc.).

    Eligibility Requirements

    • Students must be enrolled at KSU during the time period of the travel
    • Travel must be completed by June 15—no exceptions
      Travel must involve a presentation (attach acceptance letter or email to this request)
