Answer
Currently, the University of the Cumberlands does not have publisher agreements or contracts that provide Library-funded article processing charge (APC) waivers or discounts for UC faculty, staff, or students. Th
If a journal charges an APC, authors should review the journal or publisher website for current fees and available funding or waiver options. Some publishers may offer waivers or discounts based on factors unrelated to institutional affiliation, so authors should check the specific journal's policies before submitting.
