Industry professionals define what it means to publish Open Access, the different types, factors that influence funding, and share how to manage related fees from grants and budgets in several examples.

Researchers, including published authors and APS members, understand that rapid and widespread dissemination of physiological research can advance the field. Open Access (OA) publishing is frequently mentioned as a path toward this future, but what does this mean for researchers?

In this APS webinar, industry experts, Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe and Dr. Dennis Brown, will take a closer look into Open Access from the perspective of the scientist.  First, Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe, Professor for Information Literacy Services and Instruction from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will give an overview that defines OA, outlines the different types, and the factors that drive funding. 

Following, you will hear examples form scientist who have published extensively in Open Access models to learn how they handle related fees from their grants and budgets.  And more specifically, what options are available to APS authors.  Case examples will be provided from:

Key Topics Include:

  • Open Access Typology – Gold, Green, Brown, Hybrid and others
  • Benefits to authors
  • Types of publishing costs
  • What are transformative agreements?
  • Specific examples from the perspective of a researcher
