Support to publish
We can cover the costs for Q members to publish eligible work in open access journals. Check the criteria and apply.
Sharing insight and ideas widely is crucial for effective improvement. We can cover the costs for members to publish in open access journals. Here we outline the criteria for eligible articles and how to apply for the funding.
Publishing in a peer-reviewed journal is a recognised way to share your work with the improvement community and beyond. It’s also a great way to build your profile and advance your career.
We can support Q members to publish eligible improvement work in high quality open access journals (such as BMJ Open Quality or other open access peer-reviewed journals) by covering publication costs.
Enquire about accessing funding
Each request will be considered on a case-by-case basis using the below criteria and will be subject available funding.
To be considered for funding to publish your work:
- you must be a Q member
- your paper must:
- stem from work Q has funded, such as Q Lab or Supporting Q Connections projects, or
- be connected to other work Q is leading, such as the topic or focus of workshops or webinars.
To apply, email q@nhsconfed.org with an outline of your article and the name of the journal you intend to submit it to, as well as the cost.
We will get back to you with a decision within two weeks.
