Federal agencies and private foundations are moving toward requiring immediate public access to funded research. Preprint platforms offer an avenue for public access that does not require a heft article processing charge (APC). This option becomes more attractive as a system of  journal-indepent peer review develops. 

Join me for a quick review with these take aways: 

• What are and why use preprint platforms
• Avenues for peer review and possible next steps
• How can I benefit from my pre-publication manuscript

Bonus: Learn about Penn Libraries agreements with a selection of publishers and journals to help you if you do need to publish your research as open access in a journal charging APC's. 

Location: Van Pelt Library | 3420 Walnut St | 2nd Floor, Meyerson Conference Room 223

This session is co-sponsored by Penn Libraries.

Support for Publishing Workshops
This workshop is part of a series hosted by the Libraries in collaboration with the Grad Center at Penn. Each workshop focuses on an element of the research or publishing process. During the semester, take part in in-person workshops covering citation management, impact metrics, promoting your work, selecting the right publishing venue, fair use, and more. See the full suite of workshops to support you as you make progress toward your publishing goals. Check back to keep track of new workshops being added.

The Lunch and Learn series through the Grad Center features resources and tips that will help you successfully navigate your academic experiences at Penn. Campus partners share best practices to benefit all graduate and professional students. Light lunch will be provided for in-person attendees so please register in advance so we can get an accurate headcount. If you registered for the in-person session, please show up on time! These sessions are quick so no admittance after 12:25 pm. And please pay attention to your registration choice.
