Official Blog of Athabasca University Press | The Truth about Open Access Publishing

lkfitz's bookmarks 2017-11-03

Summary:

"Since Athabasca University Press was founded ten years ago as Canada’s first open access press, interest in open access publishing has increased significantly. In fact, several university presses in Canada are experimenting with open access publishing with all or some of their list.

We thought it was time to revisit some of the questions we were asked when we first started out and share what we have learned over the past ten years. To celebrate Open Access Week (October 23–29), we shared “The Truth about Open Access Publishing” with our institution. Megan Hall, our acting director, Kathy Killoh, journals and digital coordinator, and Pamela Holway, senior acquisitions editor, dispelled myths and answered questions about licensing, the creation costs of digital products, quality, and marketing. We recorded the presentation for those who couldn’t attend and you can find the recording along with the session highlights below!"
