Open Access Week runs from October 21 – 27 and seeks to raise awareness of the benefits, both for researchers and the general public, in open access to research. The library will be again hosting a number of events to equip researchers with the tools to make their research publications and data freely and legally available. Events will include workshops on developing a data management plan, publishing open access and avoiding predatory publishers, copyright, and managing your ResearchNow profile. There is also a new workshop on How to publish and promote academic work in the public policy space.
The keynote event, Coffee, cake & Open Access, is a hybrid panel discussion held at Alere on Tuesday 22nd October. It is a great opportunity to hear from senior research leaders in the university and the opening address will be given by Professor Vincent Bulone, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Performance and Impact). A networking morning tea is included if attending in-person. Register for the panel event or see the full schedule of events via link below.
