Event Series Description

The Pathfinder Projects and Jisc warmly invite you to a summer series of open access (OA) events to celebrate the end of the two-year Open Access Good Practice (OAGP) initiative.

The work undertaken over the last two years by the nine community-led Pathfinder Projects falls under five themes: advocacy, cost management, workflows and structures, metadata and systems, and baselining and policy.

We are holding five events across the UK to showcase what has been achieved in these five categories.

All events are free and suitable for librarians, research officers, and other institutional support staff who work in the area of OA.

Cost Management: 15th July, University of Bath

At this event, hosted by the GW4 project, attendees will be introduced to a variety of tools and resources devised by project members to help manage OA costs. Project participants will also share their experiences of best practice approaches.

Breakout sessions in the afternoon will offer attendees the opportunity to discuss and learn more about best practice cost management techniques including managing APCs at institutions with limited funding and how to apply the functional cost analysis methodology to your OA processes.
