Demystifying Open Access Workshop

Open Access (OA) is revolutionizing how research and scholarship is disseminated, discovered, and used around the world. But what is Open Access? What are the pros and cons of choosing to publish my work with an open access journal? How can I distinguish a legitimate open access publisher from a predatory publisher? This workshop will demystify Open Access as both a concept and as a practice that can help increase the visibility and impact of your publications.
