Seminar:
Come along to this hands-on session in the Centre for Digital Scholarship (Weston Library) to find out about the new REF Open Access requirements and how to deposit publications and data into ORA. The session will cover:
- Open Access (OA) at the University of Oxford, including author identifiers and mechanisms for funder / publisher compliance, followed by an opportunity to explore the Open Access Oxford website
- resource discovery using the Oxford University Research Archive (ORA) and content indexing, including Google and Google Scholar, with an opportunity to put this into practice
- Symplectic Elements – the university’s tool for REF compliance and the deposit mechanism for ORA, including time with the Symplectic Elements software
- Research Data Management support at the Bodleian, including data deposit requirements by funders and a chance to deposit a dataset
There will be plenty of time for questions and practical support for publication and data deposit.
