Webinar: Learning from national open access platforms

About Publish OA

Publish OA was created in response to the Government of Ireland’s target of achieving 100% open access to publicly funded scholarly publications by 2030 and is funded by the National Open Research Forum (NORF). The project will run until November 2024. The project’s key objective is to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a national OA platform for journals and books for Ireland.

Existing national OA platforms have been successful in helping publishers comply with OA requirements and have agreed to share their experiences through this webinar. The presentations cover the creation of the platforms, principles adhered to, technical requirements, business models used to sustain these platforms and any lessons learnt.
