Open access: Improve impact, fulfill funders, and keep your cash
Facilitated by Melissa Rothfus, PhD, MLIS (she/her) Scholarly Communications Librarian, ¹úÃñ²ÊƱ Libraries
Most people have heard of open access publishing, but many misunderstandings and misconceptions persist. Many funders require open access publication which improves accessibility and potential impact. However, publishing in an open access journal can be extremely expensive and some free options do not fulfill funder policies. This session will dispel myths, clarify options, and prepare researchers to make informed decisions about where and how to publish and share their work.
