SUNY Open Access Week Events: October 24–30

SUNY Open Access Week is October 24–30, and SUNY is offering daily webinars on open access issues relevant to SUNY faculty and campuses. Webinars will reflect the current range and relevance of open access. Topics include “Scholarship That's Scholar-Led: An Introduction to Open Access,” “Starting and Sustaining an OA Publication,” and “Understanding and Protecting Your Rights As an Author.” 

The open access movement was begun to break down the barriers involved with traditional scholarly publishing in an attempt to make information and research more openly accessible and available. Open access also relates to a variety of current trends, including Creative Commons licensing, open educational resources, and self-publishing.

Learn more about how your SUNY colleagues are innovating with open access and join the conversation by attending SUNY Open Access Week webinars. Webinars take place daily from noon to 1:00 p.m.

Schedule of webinars:

  • Monday - Scholarship That's Scholar-Led: An Introduction to Open Access
  • Tuesday - The Bigger Picture of OA: Alternate Models of Review and Emerging Practices
  • Wednesday - SUNY OER Services: What They Can Do for You
  • Thursday - Starting and Sustaining an OA Publication
