Self-Archiving Workshop

Tuesday, October 30, 2018 - 10:00am to 11:00am
Event Description: 

How do you get more citations, reach a broader audience, and ensure long-term preservation of your work? The best way is to make your work Open through self-archiving! In celebration of Open Access Week 2018, join us to explore the best practices of self-archiving: your rights as an author, best locations to self-archive your work, and how to maximize the benefits to you and the research community. Learn the considerations for posting preprints and postprints, and the different uses for a website, institutional repository, and commercial sharing sites like Academia.edu and ResearchGate. 

Register for this event. 

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.
