Faculty Author Rights Workshop: Strategies For Retaining Your (Copy)Rights, Char Booth, M. Sara Lowe, Allegra Swift

Open Access Week @ The Claremont Colleges

The publication process can feel like a one-sided negotiation, with journal and book publishers holding the power to dictate restrictive terms of use and reuse. Thanks to a growing number of strategies and tools, this is no longer necessarily the case.

By empowering attendees with insight into author addenda and open access (OA) repositories, this hands-on interactive session will explore how researchers and authors can advocate for themselves in their relationship with their publishers.

You will leave this workshop with a skillset that can help you retain copyright and maximize your scholarly impact.

Your Publication, Your Choice: Choosing The Right Open Access Journal, Carla Cantagallo, Mary Congleton, Susan Foster-Harper, Adrian K. Ho

Generation Open: Researchers' Roles in the Age of Openness

An increasing number of research funders require free public access to the outcomes of funded research. To comply with the requirement, some researchers choose to publish their findings in open access journals. Given that there are so many choices, what should researchers consider when choosing an open access journal to publish?

To celebrate Open Access Week (October 20-26, 2014), the University of Kentucky Libraries hosted a workshop that aimed to help you answer the above question.

Information about open access is available from the University of Kentucky Libraries open access research guide.

Saving Time In The Long-Run: A New Workflow For Thesis Submissions, Emily Stenberg

In January 2014, representatives from the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences and University Libraries at Washington University agreed to move the master's thesis submission process from a local, electronic form directly to the university's repository Open Scholarship, which is supported by Digital Commons. While the reasons for this change included streamlining the process for both students and administrators, making this decision ended up being the easiest part of the process, which took close to six months for repository staff to fully implement. Around the same time, the Graduate School of Art began requiring its master's students to post their …
