What does it mean to publish in Open Access? How do I find a suitable open access journal for my article? Which open licence should I use? These and similar questions will be answered in the series "Understanding Open Access" organised by the University Library in.

During the summer semester 25, we have planned four sessions of approx. 45 minutes each, in which a specific OA-related topic will be discussed. The HTW OA team in cooperation with the ASH Berlin University Library and BHT will introduce each of these topics. Participants will then have the opportunity to discuss their questions.

The talks will take place in online format. Registration is not required. Here is the permanent access link to the virtual room.
