The Cornell Open Access Publishing (COAP) program also accepts applications from Cornell authors who are non-tenured faculty members, academic staff members, and also from graduate, professional, and undergraduate students affiliated with Cornell’s Ithaca campus. Funding for articles that meet the COAP eligibility criteria is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; all faculty, researchers, and Cornell community members are eligible to participate in the Open Access program via the funding initiative.
