Join UC Libraries for an interactive workshop designed to clear up the confusion surrounding open access in scholarly publishing. This workshop will unpack common misconceptions surrounding open access and will provide clear, practical guidance on dismantling the paywall around your research. Bring a web-enabled device, if you would like to take part in the interactive portion, and your skepticism and curiosity for the Q&A that will follow.
After attending this workshop, you will be able to
- Understand the different routes to open access
- Find reputable, peer-reviewed open access journals and avoid predatory publishers
- Navigate publisher open access policies and self-archiving
- Identify cost-free open access options that fit your dissemination goals
