Posted: Friday, April 5, 2024Faculty Scholarship Series Workshop III: Playing the Open Access ‘Mind’ Field: Dodging Predatory Journals and Article Processing Charges - April 9
Please join us for the final workshop in the Butler Library Faculty Scholarship Series, “Playing the Open Access ‘Mind’ Field: Dodging Predatory Journals and Article Processing Charges,” on Tuesday, April 9, at 12:15 p.m. in Butler Library 318 (or online synchronous).
Publishing open access (OA) 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 now and in the future for some publishers.
Please register to attend either in person or remotely. Please contact Chris Hulsman, electronic and educational resources librarian, with questions.
