Since 2012 the UWM Libraries' supported open access publishing for researchers. Open Access provides access to full-text journal articles without a paywall and makes knowledge more publicly available and easier to spread to wider communities. The University Open Access Publication (UOAP) Fund covered the cost of author submission fees in fully open access journals as defined by inclusion in the Directory of Open Access Journals.
