Empowering Researchers: Retaining Copyright and Maximizing Your Impact in Open Access Publishing

This training material has been developed to support the PATTERN project's scope in strengthening researchers' understanding of copyright and empowering them to make informed decisions in the Open Access publishing landscape. Designed for both face-to-face delivery and webinars, the course "Empowering Researchers: Retaining Copyright and Maximizing Your Impact in Open Access Publishing" provides trainers with everything needed to facilitate engaging sessions — including session plans, activity materials, and participant evaluation forms. A dedicated checklist for pilot institutions ensures consistency and preparedness across training sites.

 

This material has been translated in Turkish language as well.
