The UWM Libraries invite you to a workshop and discussion on Oct. 25 that will examine the emerging models for open access publishing, and their benefits and shortcomings from viewpoints of authors, editors, librarians and publishers.
In the past year, UWM Libraries has signed “read and publish agreements” with three scholarly publishers: the Association for Computing Machinery, Cambridge University Press and Company of Biologists. The read-and-publish model allows authors to publish their articles open access without paying processing fees and while still retaining their copyright.
Learn more about the agreement in a workshop with Cambridge University Press, followed by a panel discussion with faculty who will share their experiences publishing open access. Register at this webpage.
Panelists will include:
- Kevin Muse, associate professor, Ancient and Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures
- John Reuter, associate professor, Political Science
- Dietmar Wolfram, senior associate dean and professor, Information Studies
Cambridge University Press:
- Ann Avouris, head of Journals/North America and executive publisher
- Katherine Mannion, library sales executive
