Open access for research publications - for Research Postgraduates
This session forms part of the Reading Researcher Development Programme (RRDP) for Research Postgraduates.
Find out what open access is, why it is important for research and what funders and universities require of you. Learn about the different open access routes including open access repositories and publishers’ open access options. We will include advice on evaluating and selecting these. The focus will be on open access for journal articles which is well established and is a key requirement of funder policies. We will also discuss open access for theses and briefly introduce you to some initiatives for open access monographs. Open access is a worldwide movement and this session will note key developments in the UK and in other countries.
Book your place through Reading's Student Information System (RISIS). The timetable can be viewed on the RRDP webpage in the 'Things to do now' section. You can also view a full timetable in the Doctoral and Researcher College site on Blackboard.
