MAFES Publication Program

Since the establishment of the MAFES Publication Registry Program, more than 30+ years ago, the publishing of scientific manuscripts has shifted from physical prints to digital publications. MAFES will continue to pay for traditional page charges or for open access to publications associated with MAFES projects but not for both. MAFES will fund publication charges up to $1500. We expect to be able to allocate a total of $20K per year for publications, with $10K allocated in each of two application cycles each year. Submission deadlines will be updated quarterly.

Acknowledgements – The acknowledgements section of the publication must include the USDA-NIFA acknowledgement and disclaimer statements: “This work is supported by the [Hatch, Hatch Multistate, McIntire-Stennis, or Animal Health and Disease], project award no.
