What are APCs and how do they factor into publishing in Open Access (OA) journals?  Am I forced to find funding or are there any other options available to me to make my works openly available?  How can I find what I can or cannot legally do with my previously published papers to make them openly available?   How can others find my openly available works? Come join us to hear how these questions can help you determine your options for your own previous and future publications.

This session is part of the University Libraries Health Sciences Libraries (HSLs) “HSLs Quick Tips & Tricks” series.  These are 30-minute sessions held via Zoom on the 3^rd Tuesday of the month.  To accommodate different schedules, they are held twice on that day, once at 12:15pm and again at 5:15pm.  

Each month will cover a specific topic that relates to the information and/or scholarly landscape.  While some topics will have themes that carry across months, each session is designed to be a stand-alone focus on a topic within that theme.

If you are an individual with a disability and desire an accommodation, welcome! Please email library-event-accessibility@groups.office365.vt.edu at least 10 days prior to the event.

These sessions will include activities and engaged discussions, so attendees become more familiar with the content and are able to immediately put the information and skills covered into practice. While the examples used in these sessions are geared towards those in the health sciences, anyone who has an interest in the topic is welcome to attend.
