Open Access for MPLS (online)

Oliver Bridle and Rachel Scanlon

Tuesday, 10 March 2026, 10am to 11am

This session demystifies the processes of open access publishing.

COURSE DETAILS

Researchers are often obliged by their funders to publish work open access.

Open access publications are free for anyone to read — and often to reuse — helping to maximise the visibility, reach, and potential impact of your research. But varying publisher policies, licensing choices, funder mandates, and cost models can make the landscape feel complex. This session will break everything down clearly and practically.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

You will learn:

  • Why and when you need to publish open access and the different routes that are available, such as gold, green and diamond publishing options.  
  • What options and funding are available for publishing open access. 
  • How licencing like Creative Commons licensing and copyright works with open access. 

By the end of the session you should feel confident about the basic open access publishing routes available and how to select an appropriate option, applying for funding to cover open access publication costs, and where to find additional support the Open Access Oxford website.
