Making your Publications Open Access (Staff)
Event details
Open access scholarly publications, free for anyone to access online and to reuse, are generally read and cited more than those hidden behind a paywall. Open access can improve the communication of research ideas, make academic research accessible to new audiences, and improve public accountability. For these reasons funders of research increasingly require that the publications resulting from the research they fund are made as open as possible. This workshop will give an introduction to Open Access to research publications, why it's important, and options for making your publication open.
A one hour online session that will start with a presentation on open access by the host followed by time for questions and discussion.
Areas covered include:·
-
What Open Access is and why it’s important
-
Options for making you publications open access
-
Finding suitable journals and publishers
-
Copyright and licensing for Open Access
