Publication grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation enable the publication of high quality scientific literature, including doctoral and post-doctoral theses, which might not otherwise be published.
The National Research Council assesses the scientific quality of the publication submitted and awards a grant at the discretion of the Secretariat. The majority of the publications supported originate from the Humanities and Social Sciences.
Changes as of October 2011
As the DORE programme will expire in autumn, the DORE publication grants will be integrated into the general publication funding of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). As of 1 October 2011, all publication grants will be paid from the normal publication budget. As of this date, all applications for publication grants will need to be submitted via the mySNF portal. The manuscript will have to be sent both electronically (PDF or CD/DVD) and in printed form.
