OA week seminar: Cost clarity: Navigating open access agreements with Scifree
The transition from a closed to an open academic publishing landscape has provided greater opportunities for researchers to reach as many stakeholders as possible with their research. At the same time, the transition has meant that the costs of publishing have shifted from readers to researchers, universities, and research funders.
Today, university libraries have a large number of publishing agreements that allow researchers to publish for free or at a discounted cost. This is where Scifree comes in. Scifree is a tool that helps researchers plan their publishing to minimize financial risks.
In this seminar, the Scifree tool will be demonstrated, and we will also discuss the development of open access to scientific publications. The seminar is relevant for those who want to avoid unpleasant financial surprises in their research publishing and for those who want to learn more about open access to scientific publications.
Join via Zoom and become part of the discussion! The seminar will be given in English or Swedish depending on participant preference.
