The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation only supports the open access fees for research funded by the foundation. If your research was funded in part or in whole by the foundation, please provide the appropriate Gates Foundation grant number when submitting your invoice.
If you are not funded by the foundation, we recommend requesting an open access fee waiver from the publisher or publishing with a journal that does not levy open access publishing fees.
