The Beginning of a Series of Researcher-Centric Webinars! 

Maybe you’re brand new to the publishing process, maybe you’re not. But we can all agree that the world of academic publishing is becoming increasingly complex.

We invite you to join us for an engaging series of webinars where we put the researcher in the spotlight. During the sessions, we’ll do 360-degree deep dives into the concept of Open Access and address all types of OA questions and concerns to help you, as a researcher, feel more educated, inspired, and confident in navigating the world of Open Access.

What is Open Access?

Open Access (OA) is transforming the research landscape, and with various administrative tasks such as managing compliance, checking payment eligibility, investigating agreements, and reporting, no wonder it can be difficult for researchers to navigate it all!

Join us as we kick off our first out of four webinars in our new series. We’ll start at the very beginning by looking into the basics of Open Access – because what exactly is Open Access, and what does it mean for the publishing journey? During this session, we’ll also dig into the different OA and journal types, talk about national OA strategies, and help you locate the right resources that can assist you on your OA publishing journey.

  • A broad and confident understanding of what Open Access is and what it entails
  • Important insights into how Open Access impacts your publishing journey
  • A solid overview of the different OA and journal types, licenses, and what each of them covers
