We are excited to invite the NU community to an informative workshop led by Wiley representative Aiman Ashimkhan. This session will cover the concept of open access and its numerous benefits for our community. Aiman will explain how transformative agreements operate and discuss the positive societal shifts that open access publishing can facilitate. Additionally, participants will learn about the various opportunities available for publishing with Wiley in an open access format.

This workshop represents a valuable opportunity for faculty, researchers, and students to gain insights into the evolving landscape of academic publishing. Open access is not just a trend; it’s a transformative approach that enhances the visibility and accessibility of research, ensuring that knowledge is shared widely and equitably.
