A basic Introduction to Open Access
Katarina Smitt Engberg - Royal Danish Library/Copenhagen University Library
This presentation will go through the basics of Open Access publishing: What it is, in comparison to the subscription model, the most common Open Access types, and the role that copyright and licensing play when you publish Open Access. In addition, the talk will introduce the national waiver agreements with publishers, and present some of the tools that you can use to look up a journal’s Open Access policy or identify Open Access journals within your discipline.
