TRANSLATION SERVICE FOR TRANSLATION / LANGUAGE REVIEW EXPENSES OF SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES BY URJC TEACHING AND RESEARCH STAFF

One of the priority objectives of the University Rey Juan Carlos Own Programme for the Promotion and Development of Research is to increase the scientific output of the University’s teaching and research staff and its dissemination.

The creation of the grants for the translation/language review expense processing service for scientific articles by URJC teaching and research staff aims to subsidize the open-access publication costs that arise.

On 22 October 2003, the Berlin Declaration defined “Open Access” as:

“The author(s) […] must grant a free, irrevocable, and worldwide right to access the work, and a licence to copy it, use it, distribute it, transmit it and display it publicly, and to make and distribute derivative works […]’’ (https://openaccess.mpg.de/Berlin-Declaration)

For more information on open access, we provide a presentation here.

To achieve this purpose, the University has allocated a specific budget item within its 2020 expenditure budget, incorporating the necessary funds to cover the expenses arising from the publication of articles and/or chapters in indexed international journals and/or publishers of recognized prestige.

Application period?

The call is OPEN from the day after the date of publication on the official URJC notice board until 31 December 2020 or until the budget allocated for this concept during 2020 is exhausted.

Who is this grant aimed at?

  • To cover the publication costs of articles and chapters in indexed international journals and/or publishers of recognized prestige.
  • Teaching and research staff who are actively serving at Rey Juan Carlos University on the date of publication of this call on the University’s official electronic notice board and maintain their affiliation through such administrative status until the favourable resolution of the expense file.
  • Research staff hired under grants or public funds intended to finance such contracts and who belong to Rey Juan Carlos University, extending their affiliation with the University until at least 31 December 2020.

What are the requirements?

  1. The applicant must appear in the open-access article for which the publication expense reimbursement is requested, with affiliation “Universidad Rey Juan Carlos” or, if the journal so requires, “Rey Juan Carlos University”, and must appear first or as “corresponding author”.
  2. The contribution must be published in an indexed international journal and/or publishers of recognized prestige that have a selective procedure for accepting original works in accordance with the “Scholarly Publishers Indicators” systems.

What incompatibilities does this grant present?

  1. Any aid, subsidy or funding from public or private entities for the same concept, so applicant authors may not submit an application under this resolution if they are part of a project or research group that has its own source of funding for the same purpose and this has not been exhausted.
  2. The simultaneous application of any aid for the same purpose called with funds from Rey Juan Carlos University other than those of the Vice-Rectorate for Research.
