Exploring Open Access Publishing: Strategies for Successful Outcomes
Date: 15th October 2025 | Time: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM EEST (9:00–10:30 BST) | Registration
Increasingly, researchers are interested in or required to publish their work as Open Access. While the publishing process is essentially the same, Open Access publishing can offer the opportunity for greater impact and a more transparent process. This session will examine the publishing process and how to increase the likelihood of your work being published. We will cover Open Access models, licensing, how to choose a journal and avoid predatory ones, manuscript preparation, the submission process, and how to navigate peer review. Participants will walk away with a good understanding of what they can expect during the publishing process.
Speaker: Victoria Babbit
