Wednesday 22nd October 2pm: HCA 104

This session will explore the ever-increasing range of options for researchers who wish to publish open access, and look at the benefits of doing so. In particular, we will focus on transformative, or ‘Read and Publish’, agreements that the university has in place with a number of academic publishers including Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, Wiley and Sage. These agreements allow Liverpool Hope researchers to publish open access, without charge. We will also look at Green Open Access and the role of institutional repositories, as well as pre-print repositories.
