Enhancing your research impact through open access publishing Online
This workshop will introduce attendees to the principles of Open Access and how it can benefit the impact of their research. Open access publishing is a model of scholarly communication that provides unrestricted and free access to scholarly research outputs, such as articles, papers, and data. In open access publishing, the content is made available online to the public without financial, legal, or technical barriers.
This approach aims to maximise the dissemination of knowledge and facilitate broader access to scientific and academic information. Open access publishing is often seen as a way to promote transparency, collaboration, and innovation in research by removing traditional subscription and paywall barriers.
