Publishing Open Access and its Benefits In-Person
Have you thought about how to reach the biggest audience for your research publication? Have you heard about large fees in order to publish Open Access and wondered how to avoid them? Does you funder have an Open Access Policy and you are not quite sure what to do? This is the workshop for you!
Open Access is an academic publishing model which makes research freely available to read, avoiding subscriptions or paywalls. Open Access comes in many flavours and this session will focus on the Library’s recent Open Access agreements (also called transformative agreements) with a number of publishers that allow you as the author to publish Open Access without cost to you.
No previous knowledge or publishing experience is needed for this session! The NUI Galway Open Scholarship Librarian Hardy Schwamm will introduce the rationale and process of these Open Access agreements, and the context in which these agreements have been developed. We will also look briefly at Green Open Access and how you can publish your research using the NUI Galway institutional repository ARAN.
At the end of this session you will:
- Understand the need for Open Access publishing
- Know how to benefit from the Open Access agreements that are available to you
- Be familiar with the options that Green Open Access provides
