The American Physiological Society (APS) held an interactive webinar on March 4, 2020, to discuss open access (OA) for scientists engaged in physiological research.

Register to access the recorded webinar.

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

This webinar will take a deep dive into OA from the perspective of the scientist. The session will start with an OA primer that outlines types, definitions and factors that drive funding and innovative business models. Scientists that have published extensively in OA models will share how they handle related fees from their grants and budgets.

Speakers:

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe, MS; Professor for Information Literacy Services and Instruction, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Dennis Brown, PhD, FAPS; APS Chief Science Officer, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Program in Membrane Biology.

Agenda

Intro to OA for Researchers
Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe

  • OA Typology-Gold, Green, Bronze, Hybrid and others
  • OA Benefits for Authors-Readership, Copyright and Reuse
  • Questions & Answers/Engagement Poll

Who Covers the Cost of OA Publishing: Author, Funder or Institution?

  • Types of Publishing Costs – Submission Fees, Color and Page Fees, Publication Fees, Open Access Article Processing Charges (APCs)
  • What Are Transformative Agreements? From “Read & Publish,” “Publish & Read,” “Subscribe to Open” to “Read, Publish & Join”: What are librarians talking about?
  • Questions & Answers/Engagement Poll

A Researcher Perspective: Paying for OA from Your Grant and Budget
Dennis Brown

  • Scenarios for paying for OACase examples from your colleagues about how they use their budgets and grants to pay for publishing research. We will be discussing (various) scenarios including Brown’s experience at MGH.  

Case Examples will be provided from:
Patricia E. Molina, MD, PhD, LSUHSC New Orleans, LA; Ole Petersen, CBE, FRS, Cardiff University; Josephine C. Adams, Ph.D. University of Bristol, UK; René J.M. Bindels, PhD, Institute for Molecular Life Sciences, Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Alicia Schiller, Ph.D., University of Nebraska Medical Center.
