Librarians typically do not receive research funding and are not able to pay publication fees should authors decide to pursue open access options. However, this does not preclude librarians from authorship should their intellectual contribution match the ICMJE criteria. Please see our OA page for more information about free and reduced-cost publishing opportunities.

To get assistance with your review project, fill out and submit our Request Review Support form. After receiving your request, one of our librarians will contact you to schedule a consultation.

The Texas A&M University Libraries have adopted the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) definition of authorship. If a librarian helping with a review meets the defined criteria, that person will be listed as an author on articles and other resulting scholarly dissemination.
