Navigating Open Access (Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences)

New

Are the researchers in your department confused about what they need to do about Open Access?

This support session will equip you to help them understand:

• what Open Access policies actually mean for researchers across the disciplines
• what they are required to do in order for their research to be eligible for REF 2021

Open Access can be a confusing topic for researchers and they will often turn to those within their department for answers. These interactive sessions will help those with these responsibilities to guide researchers through the process of making their research available.

Each session will begin with a short presentation introducing Open Access followed by a chance for attendees to ask questions on issues of local relevance.

Note that this session is targeted towards those supporting the humanities, arts and social sciences although those from other disciplines are also welcome to attend

• University of Cambridge librarians in the HASS disciplines
• University of Cambridge research support staff in the HASS disciplines

• Further details regarding eligibility criteria are available
