“Open Access is a complex and potentially very contentious area, e.g. academic freedom to publish. So amongst all the conflicting mandates and policies it was really useful to have the institutional role so clearly delineated – and an action plan to follow up on.” – Candace Guite, University of Stirling
“It was great to get the benefit of listening to someone with the experience and knowledge of Bill Hubbard.” – Sheila Scott, Robert Gordon University
“As a newcomer to open access, confused by ‘compliance’ and all the different policies, I now have a better understanding as to what these mean.” – Hazel Bentley, University of Manchester
“This webinar gives a good background to OA and what it means for Academic Institutions and their authors both now and in the very near future.” – Veronica Plowman, University of Plymouth

OVERVIEW:
How do we find our way through the forest of requirements, options, exemptions, variations and special cases that institutions and individuals have to handle with Open Access policies? The Open Access policy environment is growing more complex and more demanding in its needs, and now more significant in its implications.
This webinar will look at the policy environment from institutions, funders, the REF, and publishers and try to find path through the complexity. It will look at why we comply, how we comply and what happens when policies collide! Participants will be asked to contribute their own thoughts and needs – and solutions! Finally, the webinar will suggest a strategy to frame institutional response overall and offer suggestions through this for getting institutional action.
Date: Tuesday 19 May 2015
