Open Science & Open Access

Futhermore it provides a practical overview of Open Access publishing, including funding opportunities, the green route via repositories, and Read & Publish agreements. It also highlights how Open Access applies to dissertations and how to avoid predatory journals. Participants are invited to bring along their own cases.
