How to Make Your Research Open Access (Whether You're at Harvard or Not)

How to Make Your Research Open Access (Whether You're at Harvard or Not)

Celebrating Open Access Week

Tuesday, October 23, 12:30 pm
Harvard Law School, Wasserstein Hall, Room 3019
Co-hosted by the Office for Scholarly Communication at Harvard University

How do you make your own work open access (OA)? The question comes up from researchers at schools with good OA policies (like Harvard and MIT) and at schools with no OA policies at all. We invite you to join Peter Suber and Stuart Shieber of the Harvard Open Access Project, the Berkman Center community, and Office for Scholarly Communication in an open forum on the Harvard OA policies, concrete steps for making your work OA, and questions on any aspect of OA, especially from the perspective of publishing researchers.
