In support of International Open Access Week, the Yale University Library is hosting a series of workshops and events from October 23 – 27 to raise awareness of open access issues and trends within our community.
Panel Discussion | Launching and Sustaining an OA Journal: Stories from the Field
October 23, 3:00 – 4:00 PM
Arts Library Room 119 (Rudolph Hall)
Join us for a discussion with editors of two prestigious open access journals representing two very different fields. Learn about the motivations behind going an open access route and what’s involved in managing an open access journal. Martina Droth is Deputy Director of Research and Curator of Sculpture at the Yale Center for British Art. She is co-editor of the born-digital, peer-reviewed journal British Art Studies and chair of the Association of Research Institutes in Art History. Helen Beilinson is a PhD candidate in Immunobiology at Yale and a co-editor-in-chief of the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine. YJBM was launched in 1928 and is the oldest medical student publication still published.

Getting an article or a book published is an exciting undertaking that may present its share of confusion and stress. We will compare an assortment of publishing options, including open access, to make authors aware of your choices. We’ll also cover author-publisher agreements, the SPARC author addendum, and licensing alternatives. You will come away with facts that you can use to make informed decisions about your rights. The workshop is presented by librarians Joan Emmet and Alyssa Grimshaw. Register Online: http://schedule.yale.edu/event/3651243
