The theme of Open Access week this year is Open in Order to… and is an invitation to answer the question about the concrete benefits of making scholarly outputs openly available.
This session will explore current trends in open access for research data; new funder expectations for data management, discoverability, and sharing; direct and indirect benefits to publishing research data openly; and a brief overview of the current tools and platforms available to help researchers share their data.
We will also provide a demonstration of the DMP Assistant: a free online tool that guides researchers through the steps of creating a data management plan that is based on best practices and compliant with funder requirements.
Thursday, October 26, 10:30–11:30 a.m.
Collaborative Health Education Building (CHEB), Room C266

Hi,
I assume it’s about open access publication.
It will be useful to list and indicate the open access journals published by Dalhousie faculty and/or students. In working with Geoff Brown in Dal Library, I have established an open access journal “International Journal of Geoscience and Environment – ijge” for over 2.5 years and a total of 9 issues have been published. All publications are available online at ojs.library.dal.ca/ijge free of charge.
I would also like to point out that most of our publications are from international authors, only one or two from local sources and my own graduate students.
I believe your seminar can help promote open access journals in general and those from Dalhousie in particular.
Steve Zou
Professor of Mining Engineering and Editor-in-Chief, ijge.
Thank you, Steve. Here is a link to the Dal Libraries’ journal hosting landing page, where all of our journals are listed: https://ojs.library.dal.ca/
