Course Description

Overview

Ensuring your research outputs are available via Open Access (OA) enables them to reach a broader audience, increasing the impact of your research and potentially boosting numbers of citations.

This course will introduce open access, consider the options available to make outputs OA and explore how  to access OA publications. We will review the implications of licensing, discuss funder expectations, copyright and the impact of Plan S which supports outputs being made immediately openly available.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course you will:

• understand the benefits of OA for research outputs
• be able to find and make full use of OA repositories and databases
• feel confident exploiting options for achieving OA without infringing copyright
• understand the UoN and funder expectations for open access to your thesis
