Are you wondering what processes, platforms, and funding are available at UC Irvine to publish your research open access (OA)? This workshop will provide practical guidance and walk you through all of the OA publishing options and funding sources you have on campus. We’ll explain: the difference between (and mechanisms for) self-depositing your research in the UC’s institutional repository vs. choosing publisher-provided OA; what funding is available to put toward your article or book charges if you choose a publisher-provided option; the funding coverage under the UC’s “transformative agreements”; and what options are there for publishing books OA. We’ll also give you practical tips and tricks to maximize your retention of rights and readership in the publishing process.
