Description:
The academic community has recently seen an upswing in the open sharing of research materials, prompted by funding agency requirements, the need to quickly share new discoveries, and an interest in wider dissemination of knowledge. This is particularly true in applied fields such as public health.
Learning objectives:
- Participants will be able to describe a brief history of open access in scholarly publishing.
- Participants will gain a better understanding of how to make their published works open access, with an emphasis on no-fee options.
- Participants will be informed of supports through Libraries and Cultural Resources to help them make their published works open access.
