UKeiG CPD Zoom Course: Open Access and how to exploit it
Wednesday, 31st May 2023 - 1 pm to 4 pm
The concept of Open Access to research outputs has been common currency for several years. The rapid growth of the Internet has made different publication models easily available. There are now reckoned to be well over 50,000,000 open access documents in over 5, 000 open repositories and on publishers’ websites, covering all academic disciplines, including the humanities and social sciences.
This workshop explains open access in all its incarnations (Green, Gold, Diamond…) and explores tools and techniques for the discovery of open access materials.
The workshop also emphasises current advances in the availability
of open access long-form publications (monographs). One critical driver is the recent insistence by UK Research and Innovation (seven research councils, Research England and Innovate UK), that ‘from 1 January 2024, monographs,
book chapters and edited collections that acknowledge UKRI funding will need to be published Open Access.’
This workshop is ideal for:
- Information professionals in public, commercial and special libraries
- Early career professionals in academic libraries, across all subjects, sectors and disciplines.
Topics covered include:
- Open Science – what it encompasses; the rationales given for instance by the OECD for its development
- Open Access – definitions, policy development; costs; the challenges of moving from subscription to Open Access; obstacles and practicalities
- Open Access scholarly monographs - the new frontier? Open Access in STM subjects is well established, but the Humanities and Social Sciences now stand to benefit greatly too
- Tools and techniques for discovery and retrieval.
