Welcome to the Scholarly Communication at Tufts website. These pages provide information for faculty, staff, and students about all aspects of the process used by scholars to share and use the results of their and others’ research. The goal is for these pages to provide answers to your questions about copyright, fair use and open access. If you do not see what you’re looking for, please contact the Scholarly Communication Team.
The Office of the Provost, in conjunction with the University-wide Committee on Teaching and Faculty Development and the Libraries’ Scholarly Communication Team, is pleased to announce a new initiative, the Provost’s Open Access Fund. The fund is intended to support either publication in open access journals or the digitization of small research collections for open access. Third round applications are now being accepted, with proposals due October 26, 2011 and awards announced late November 2011. Information about both programs is available here.
This site is managed by the Scholarly Communication Team, which is charged by the University Library Council under the oversight of the Office of the Provost, with consultation from University Counsel.
