This December, we are launching a new training tool to delve into open access (OA) in archaeology.
Introducing the self-paced course “Open Access in Archaeology”, designed to adapt to your study schedule, with an estimated completion time of just two hours.
Perfect for researchers, professionals, and students who want to gain a deeper understanding of this model for disseminating scientific knowledge.
What does the course include?
The course is structured into six modules, each focusing on a key aspect of open access:
- Module 1: What is Open Access (OA)?
- Module 2: Publishing in OA
- Module 3: OA Journals
- Module 4: Books and Book Chapters in OA
- Module 5: OA Repositories
These modules provide a comprehensive overview of applying open access in your projects and publications while guiding you through the options available for sharing and preserving your research.
Available in Catalan and English!
The course is available in two languages, Catalan and English, and is hosted on Canvas, an open-source virtual learning platform offering an intuitive and accessible user experience. Each module includes informational materials, exercises, and self-assessment tools to help reinforce and apply what you learn.
