About the Event
Course Summary
The seminar will aim to explore some of the biggest themes currently shaping Open Access research support. These will include the evolution of transformative agreements in scholarly publishing, the increasing move towards Open Data, and developments in licensing solutions for Open Access content, such as the Scholarly Communications licence. There will also be an emphasis on highlighting current innovations in Open Access research support, with an exploration of practical examples from a number of leading-edge institutions.
The seminar will include participatory elements, and attendees will have the opportunity to discuss and explore the themes raised during the course of the event. Time will be given over so that delegates can put their questions to each speaker and a panel discussion on the second day of the event will provide a forum for participants to explore some of these themes even further.
Who should attend
The seminar will be of interest to individuals involved at all stages of research support, whether in a publisher, intermediary or library setting. Those looking to update or refresh their understanding of the current Open Access landscape, and its potential evolutions in 2021 and beyond, will also find the course valuable.
Course level and previous knowledge required
Attendees should possess an understanding of the fundamentals of Open Access, as these will not be covered by the event.
Dates & Timings
The seminar is scheduled to take place over two dates: Tuesday 2nd & Tuesday 9th March from 1pm until 4pm GMT.

Open Access and Wikipedia: Taking accessible research to the global publicWikipedia is one of the most popular websites in the world with a mission to provide universal free access to knowledge as a public good. Central to “the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit” is that all facts are properly cited, ideally from peer-reviewed sources that are accessible to a global public. However approximately half of scholarly citations on Wikipedia are behind a paywall. This session will discuss Wikipedia’s role in the information ecosystem as a bridge between informal discussion and scholarly publication. It will demonstrate how to identify paywalled citations and update to OA versions of cited articles in institutional repositories. In order to fully participate you should register a Wikipedia account.
