Publishing Trends and Open Access Journals at York University

Abstract

As the fields of scholarly communication and academic publishing change rapidly, science librarians are highlighting different aspects of scholarly communication to their academic community. York University Libraries support open access publishers in the form of institutional memberships and subsidized article processing charges. Learn the factors that lead faculty to choose OA journals over subscription-based journals. The results of their recently conducted Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) survey for OA funding will also be discussed.
