WEBINAR—APS Open Access Part II: Open Access Opens Doors—Do Researchers Have the Keys?

Recorded March 25, 2021

Register to Watch the On-demand Webinar

This interactive webinar is the second of a series by the American Physiological Society (APS). The program is dedicated to providing our members and authors the “keys” to understanding open access (OA) and what it means for their research. Access the recording of the March 4, 2020 OA webinar.

The environment of scholarly communication is rapidly evolving. It is critical that we continue to create an open discourse for the APS community to further understand the ever-changing global implications on how and where they disseminate their research.

This webinar will help build upon our understanding of OA and will highlight new key terms, definitions and factors that drive relevant funding and innovative business models.

Agenda

We will discuss the OA vantage point from:

• the APS family of journals,
• institutional libraries,
• funders, and
• intermediaries that support the entire scholarly enterprise.

Unlocking your Institution’s OA Resources
Curtis Brundy, Iowa State University
Associate University Librarian for Scholarly Communication and Collections, United States

Brundy will provide the keys to breaking down institutional barriers to publishing OA. He will demonstrate how Iowa State guides authors through the complexities of this publishing model and why open access with self-publishing societies—such as APS—opens the doors that matter most to researchers.

Decoding Funder Requirements for OA
Yvonne Campfens, OA Switchboard
Executive Director

Campfens will decode funder requirements into translatable and intelligible language. She will also demonstrate how driving shared infrastructure and a standard messaging protocol helped the OA Switchboard streamline the dissemination and exchange of OA-related publication-level information between all stakeholders in the scholarly ecosystem.

Turning the Keys to Publishing OA at APS
Stacey Burke, American Physiological Society
Director of Publications Marketing and Sales

Burke will detail the APS Open Access program offered by the Society. She will also explain how making articles immediately and more widely available benefits authors who publish OA. Burke will present OA survey results from 2020 and 2021 so researchers can compare their perspective on these issues with that of their peers.
