This workshop will introduce USC Faculty, Researchers, and Graduate Students to Open Access journal publishing at USC. Open Access publishing ensures your research manuscripts and journal articles are openly accessible upon publishing. Automatic embargos imposed by the publishers are often not acceptable to some grant terms or the temporal nature of research in many disciplines. We hope to expose the open access construct to USC faculty, graduate students, and researchers so they are more prepared to navigate manuscript submissions. The USC Libraries have signed transformative agreements with academic publishers that will broaden access to USC scholarship. Under the agreements, the publishers will make newly published articles by USC authors freely available (if the author chooses to publish as open access) to readers under an open access model. These agreements can be complex, and we will highlight some of the generalities and provide details for the exceptions.

Presenters:
Dr. Jade G. Winn, Associate University Librarian
Associate Dean Alyssa Resnick, Associate University Librarian
