Berkeley Research Impact Initiative:
Advancing the Impact of UC Berkeley Research
The Berkeley Research Impact Initiative (BRII) supports faculty members, post-docs, and graduate students who want to make their journal articles free to all readers immediately upon publication.
Beginning January 21, 2008, BRII subsidizes, in various degrees, fees charged to authors who select open access or paid access publication. The program also yields data that is currently being used to gauge faculty interest in — as well as the budgetary impacts of — these new modes of scholarly communication on the Berkeley campus.
