A Crash Course in Open Access (with Prof. Danielle Apfelbaum)
Wednesday, January 6, 2021, 11:00am-12:00pm
Although open access publishing has been around for years, misconceptions about what
“open” is and what it means for authors and users alike continue to persist. This
session aims to demystify this multifaceted concept by introducing key terms and discussing
the pros, cons, and future of the open access movement. By the end of this session,
attendees will be able to describe and distinguish between common varieties of open
access (e.g., green, gold, etc.), identify and decipher the popular Creative Commons
open licenses (e.g., CC-BY, CC-BY-NC, etc.), and describe the current and potential
impact of these aspects of OA on their teaching and publishing practices.
