FOSTER-hiresOn the afternoon of the 21st of April the Radcliffe Science Library will be running an informal workshop at Keble College to update graduate students and researchers about Open-Access polices.

  • Do you know how HEFCE rules for the 2020 Ref are changing and how these will affect you?
  • Are you familiar with RCUK, Wellcome and other funder’s policies on Open Access?
  • Have you heard about the tools available at Oxford to help you comply with new Open Access regulations?
  • Do you know about services such as arXiv, PubMed Central and Zenodo and how they can help archive your research data and publications to meet funder requirements?

If your answer to any of these questions is ‘no’ then you should book yourself a place! You’ll find out the answers to the questions above and have the opportunity to quiz invited representatives from organisations closely involved in Open Access policy creation and implementation.

A full programme for the workshop can be found here – http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/science/2020-vision
