Posted: Wednesday, November 6, 2024Faculty Scholarship Series Workshop: Playing the Open Access 'Mind' Field: Dodging Predatory Journals and Article Processing Charges - November 12
Please join us for the workshop “Playing the Open Access ‘Mind’ Field: Dodging Predatory Journals and Article Processing Charges” to discuss the open access publishing landscape on Tuesday, November 12, at 12:15 p.m. in Butler Library 318. Publishing open access has become ubiquitous in academia and will continue to grow, as any federally funded study must be open access when published starting in 2026. Many obstacles and concerns surround open access publishing, especially predatory journals and avoiding the escalating costs of article processing charges (APCs). We will discuss strategies to avoid predatory publishers and dodge APCs in the open access realm. We will also discuss recent agreements that may waive OA publishing APCs for Buffalo State faculty members. A light lunch and refreshments will be served. Please register to attend.
