General Information

Jenny Collery (Scholarly Communications Librarian) and Laura Zaliene (Collections & Metadata Librarian) will explore Open Access Publishing. We aim to empower UCD authors when choosing how to publish Open Access (OA). We will cover depositing research outputs in the Research Repository UCD (Green OA), free Open Access publishing (Diamond), and UCD Library's Open Access Publishing Agreements (Gold). We will also answer the following common questions from researchers:

• How do I meet the Open Access requirements of my research funder?
• What does Rights Retention mean?
• What Creative Commons Licence should I use?
• Is my selected journal covered by UCD Library's Open Access Publishing Agreement, and how can I ensure I am eligible to avail of these deals?
• How do limited OA quota agreements work, and how can I find out when they are running out?

Please come along if you are a UCD researcher, author, of staff member who needs to know about Open Access Publishing. All other questions on this area welcome.

Further information available on our Open Access Guide and our Open Access Publishing Agreements Guide.
