In Week 8 Bodleian Libraries will be running daily events across the university which look at all aspects of open access publishing.
Join us to discuss developments in research dissemination and scholarly communication, policy and practice. With a mix of local and visiting speakers, we look forward to welcoming representatives from Research England, the National Institute for Health Research, JISC, Altmetric and the creators of ‘author copyright’ game The Publishing Trap.
We also have a special event on 14 June – ‘Publishers, papers and peer review’, led by Professor Alis Oancea (Oxford University Department of Education), and exploring publication strategies, predatory journals, open practice and data, social science repositories, responsible research metrics, and OA policies. Speakers include leaders from academia, publishing, and preprint servers SocArxiv and SSRN.
All events are FREE, and open to all University staff and students, especially academics and researchers, research students, research support staff and librarians. Please follow the links to book a place online.
