Take control of your PhD journey: Open access publishing

The hows and whys of open access publishing

As a PhD student you want your research to be disseminated and made accessible to as many as possible. Knowledge about open science and open access (OA) publishing is essential if you want a further career in research.

The University Library invites all PhD students to a seminar on OA publishing where we discuss what open access means, advantages and disadvantages for yourself, and how your choices as a researcher affect both the scientific and the general community. The seminar particularly emphasises on open access as compared to publishing with traditional publishers, and the relationship between the researcher and the publisher. You will learn how to evaluate OA publication channels to find high quality and suitable publishers for your own work. You will also receive information about the UiT Publication Fund.

The seminar is organised by Lene Østvand and Per Pippin Aspaas.

Light refreshments will be served during the break.


This seminar is a freestanding part of the seminar series Take control of your PhD journey: From (p)reflection to publishing.
