Open Access for UGA Authors: Read & Publish Deals, CC licenses & OA Citation Advantage

Thursday, Sept. 11, 2:30-3:30pm

 Presenters:

• Emily Gore, Deputy University Librarian
• Emily Hopkins, Director of Collections, UGA Libraries
• Erin Leach, Head of Organizational Strategy and Impact, UGA Libraries

The UGA Libraries recently entered into two new Read & Publish Agreements with Elsevier and Springer Nature that cover APC charges in hybrid journals for UGA authors. With these new agreements, the list of Open Access publishing opportunities for UGA authors expands to over 7,000 journal titles. When publishing Open Access, authors are typically asked to choose a Creative Commons license under which to publish their article. In this session, we will review the different license types and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. We will conclude with highlights from our recent study of UGA Open Access publications, including the citation advantage we found for authors who choose to publish OA.

Zoom registration is required.

 Presenters:

• Emily Gore, Deputy University Librarian
• Nate Nibbelink, Associate Vice President for Strategic Research Growth, Office of Research

UGA recently adopted a new Research Data Stewardship policy developed by the Research Data Management Advisory Council (RDMAC). This policy focuses on issues of ownership, sharing, and retention of research data in response to federal public access and data management requirements. The council is promoting steps to improve UGA’s services and infrastructure to support research data management, such as the UGA Libraries’ new institutional repository, UGA Open Scholar, and research data management planning consultation services offered through Research and Computational Data Management (RCDM). Join us for this session of Research Live to learn more about this new policy, supporting guidance, and related services and support offerings.

Building a Foundation for Research Funding Success

Tuesday, Dec. 2, 11:30am-12:30pm

 Presenters:

• Mary Koon, Associate Director of Foundation Relations, Development & Alumni Relations
• Jake Maas, Director of Strategic Research Development, Office of Research
• Matt Pruitt, Senior Director of Foundation Relations, Development & Alumni Relations
• Jeremy Ransom, Associate Vice President for Development & Alumni Relations

With the rapid changes in the federal landscape, capitalizing on non-federal sources of research funding is more important than ever. Private foundations can provide critical support for research with the potential to advance the foundation’s mission. In this Research Live webinar, experts in foundation relations will share tips that will help UGA researchers establish connections with foundations that align with their work, develop connections with the decision makers at those organizations, and craft funding proposals that resonate with foundation priorities.
