Open Access Week 2017: Helping Researchers Publish in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

NewSpecial

Join us for the fourth in our series exploring resources to help with the process of publishing your research in STEM disciplines - from recording observations to editing to peer review.

This session offers the chance to learn about available tools and options in publishing and reviewing, and ask questions of the experts.

Featuring contributions from:

• independent and not-for-profit media outlet The Conversation (Miriam Frankel)
• local solutions with Cambridge University Press (Chris Harrison)
• Aperta and changing the way we publish with PLOS (Nicola Stead)
• Open Access with Scholastica (Brian Cody)

and more!

Morning refreshments and lunch will be provided, during which time you can speak to providers for information and user support.

We will be recording and sharing these presentations for all those who are unable to attend on the day.
