ABSTRACT:

Taylor & Francis Group, an Informa business, publishes more than 2,500 journals and over 5,000 new books each year, offering a range of commercial services, including accelerated publishing, supplements, sponsored focus and reprints. The company recently acquired Dove Medical Press, which specialises in the publication of open access journals across the broad spectrum of science, technology and especially medicine.

This talk is an introduction to open access. It will cover the different licence options, the various open access models available and briefly touch on open data.

There are two main types of open access: gold and green. The differences between gold and green open access are explained in this presentation, along with the options authors have around reusing their content. Together with information on how to interpret the open access licence used, this will give a basic introduction to open access
