Free Webinar: Faculty Perspectives on Publishing Open Access

Tuesday, October 20th: 11am PST| 12pm MST| 1pm CST| 2pm EST

Register: http://ow.ly/TmPn8

Reports find that perceptions of open access publishing are changing
for the better and that more and more faculty members are seeking out
OA publications for maximum access and impact. However, other
researchers continue to avoid it, and those who are early in their
careers still aren’t sure how to fit it in their publishing
priorities. In honor of Open Access Week, this one-hour webinar will
feature three faculty members who will discuss why researchers do – or
do not – publish in open access outlets and how they look to
librarians for support in this process.

Featured Presenters:

- Alan Daly, Chair and Professor of the Department of Education
Studies at the University of California, San Diego, will discuss how
open access publishing is the best option for the individual
researcher and the research community as a whole.

- Bruce Herbert, Professor of Geology and Director of the Office of
Scholarly Communications at Texas A&M University, will discuss why
researchers at his institution avoid open access outlets for
publishing research and why subscription-based journals remain the
best option for many.

- Shannon Audley-Piotrowski, Assistant Professor of Educational
Psychology at Smith College, will discuss publishing priorities for
early-career researchers.

David Ross, Executive Publisher of Open Access at SAGE, will moderate
the panel and take Q&A from webinar attendees.
