Description

Academic publishing has become an increasingly complex ecosystem with many new journals, new and more open ways of publishing, and different models of dissemination and peer review – all at a time when there is increasing pressure to publish. It is important that authors are aware of all the opportunities there are, and how to navigate them. This session aims to give an overview of many of the new developments.

The UWA research community is invited to attend this event to consider and discuss the current state of publishing and open access in Australia.
