The Homestretch
The UK Markey Cancer Center has launched The Homestretch incentive program, aimed at assisting researchers in the final stages of publishing their work in prestigious academic journals. In order to be eligible for the incentives offered by this program, papers must be submitted to journals with an impact factor score of 10 or higher.
This program consists of two incentives. 1) An investigator can request financial support to address any comments or suggestions made by the journal's reviewers; 2) Once a paper is accepted in a high impact journal, Markey Cancer Center will pay the publication fees associated with the accepted paper. To learn more about the incentives and request the benefits, please see the tabs below.
