| Summary: | <p dir="ltr">Qatar National Library’s Open Access (OA) Program supports scholarly publishing by offering an article processing charge fund to cover publishing costs for open access journals. Since its launch in 2016, the program has received more than 10,000 funding requests, reflecting high demand from Qatar-based researchers. Despite successfully supporting 5,869 articles, challenges remain, with funding requests often surpassing available resources. In 2025, QNL conducted a survey to assess the program's effectiveness and explore areas for improvement. This poster presents the survey findings and discusses potential improvements to the program, including changes to funding criteria and communication processes.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Poster was presented at: Libraries Thriving Together in an Open Ecosystem <a href="https://www.qnl.qa/en/libraries-lead-forum-2025" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.qnl.qa/en/libraries-lead-forum-2025</a><br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>Conference information: Libraries Lead Forum 2025 <a href="https://www.qnl.qa/en/libraries-lead-forum-2025/agenda" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.qnl.qa/en/libraries-lead-forum-2025/agenda</a></p> |
