Self-Archiving Workshop

Friday, October 20, 2017 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Event Description: 

Two primary ways exist to make your work Open Access: publish in an Open Access outlet or self-archive your work. This workshop will focus on self-archiving, a practice that allows you to publish in your favorite journals and with your favorite publishers and still make your work openly available through depositing copies in repositories. 

How do you get more citations, reach a broader audience, and ensure long-term preservation of your work? Learn about the best practices for self-archiving: your rights as an author, locations to share your work, and how to maximize the benefits to you and the research community. Learn the considerations for sharing preprints and postprints, and the different uses for a website, institutional repository, and commercial sharing sites like Academia.edu and ResearchGate. 

Presenter: 

Dr. Lauren B. Collister

Director, Office of Scholarly Communication and Publishing
University of Pittsburgh

During the process of obtaining her Ph.D. in Sociolinguistics, Lauren realized that there was a lot more to academic work than doing research and publishing it. She became an advocate for Open Scholarship as an early career researcher, and turned the focus of her career to helping her fellow scholars navigate the life cycle of scholarship. In her position as Director of the Office of Scholarly Communication and Publishing at the University of Pittsburgh, Lauren oversees the work of the unit, including open access journal publishing, D-Scholarship@Pitt and subject archives, electronic theses and dissertations, copyright education, and advocacy for Open. She also chairs the Committee on Scholarly Communication in Linguistics for the Linguistic Society of America.
