Student Journals and Open Access: An Important Part of a Big Movement

Presenters:

• Juan Pablo Alperin, Scientific Director, Public Knowledge Project, and Associate Professor, Publishing Program, Simon Fraser University
• Leigh-Ann Butler, Scholarly Communications Librarian, University of Ottawa
• Lucìa Céspedes, Research Advisor, Érudit

Host:

• Mariya Maistrovskaya, Senior Publication Support Specialist, Public Knowledge Project

Description:

Almost all student journals in Canada publish in open access, meaning that anyone, anywhere with access to the internet can read their articles for free. This may seem like an obvious choice, but it’s not: open access is a principled decision that responds to many important issues in research today. Come and learn from noted experts in the field about open access, why it is important not just for student journals but for all journals, and how you are contributing to an international movement to increase access to knowledge and redefine equitable participation in research production.
