About

In August 2021, UKRI launched a new open access policy, which for the first time includes a provision for long form scholarly works including monographs, book chapters and edited collections published from 1 January 2024. In preparation for policy implementation, a collaboration of UK university presses, supported by Jisc, have come together to hold a series of online events about the myths around open access for books, as well as to address legitimate concerns and suggest ways to remove barriers to open access publishing.

This webinar is the last in the series, and in it, authors, publishers and other experts in the field will dispel some of the myths around issues relating to copyright and the use of third-party content in open access publishing for books, exploring misconceptions and confusions along the way.
