Description
The Scholarly Publication Fund provides financial support to faculty members at UBC Vancouver and Okanagan campuses in SSHRC-aligned disciplines to help cover essential costs associated with scholarly publication. The fund is designed to assist with expenses such as publisher-required subventions, professional indexing, copyright clearance, graphics preparation, translations, and illustrations, with a focus on supporting early-career researchers in the social sciences and humanities. The goal is to enhance the dissemination of academic research when no other funding sources are available.
