The theme for this year’s Open Access Week, “Open in order to…” , serves as an open invitation for participants to provide some of the remarkable benefits accessible to all those who choose to make their scholarly research readily available online.
Roger Watson, Professor of Nursing at the University of Hull, is the Editor-in-Chief of two Wiley journals that contribute to the open access realm. The Journal of Advanced Nursing offers authors the open access option of OnlineOpen, while Nursing Open is a fully open access journal published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license.
In this podcast, Watson addresses the theme of Open Access Week by discussing the benefits of open access, such as increasing the global visibility and impact of research. He also discusses how authors can identify predatory publishers.
You can also listen to Roger’s Open Access Week 2016 podcast, where he discussed the challenges of open access and tips for early career researchers seeking to advance their careers.
