The workshop entitled “How to make the most of your publications? Discover evolving trends in open access” is jointly organized by FOSTER Plus and DARIAH-EU on January 21 2019 in Berlin. It aims to focus on domain-specific practices of opening up scholarly communication in Arts and Humanities. Publishing is a relevant topic for each and every researcher regardless on career status or research interest. The workshop aims to draw a picture on the changing landscape of scholarly communication and to help equip researchers at all career stages (focusing on early-career researchers) with the skills they need to excel in this open environment.

To share best practices and generate fruitful discussions on trends, innovations, and present-day challenges in Open Access publishing in the Arts and Humanities, different stakeholder perspectives will be brought together such as representatives of next-generation publishing platforms, research infrastructures, librarians, and researchers from different areas and career stages.

In the morning sessions, attendees can learn about monograph publishing and alternative models of open book publishing, open peer review, publishing practices for cross-referenced datasets and research articles and they can also gain insights on how librarians can help them in opening up their work.

The two hands-on sessions in the afternoon will be dedicated to the topics of open licensing and self-archiving. They are aimed at opening spaces for co-creation and giving the possibility for attendees to take practical steps in opening up their research. Bringing own case studies is highly encouraged here.
