As academics, we are research active, and we'd like to have as wide a di= ssemination of our research works and ideas as possible. While several chan= nels exist, open access is a way to ensure that our work reach a wide range= of audience who will not have to pay to access the knowledge we strive to = share with the world, and can make use of the knowledge base in freely; thi= s both speeds up the dissemination of information but also adds to the spee= d of publishing and wider dissemination of knowledge. At one of the recent = University of Canterbury College of Education, Health, and Human Developmen= t Research Committee meeting, the issue of Open Access Publishing was broug= ht up and the Committee members encouraged the idea of hosting a seminar at= the College where we can discuss and disseminate ideas about open access p= ublishing with a view to improve and speed up the process of publications. = The result is this seminar.
The purpose of this seminar is to introduce the concept of Open Access a= nd activities that are already occurring in the University, but also provid= e a broad based overview of the scene of Open Access across Australasia and= the world. In particular, in addition to discussing Open Access, we also a= im to discuss different models of publishing and the concept of Creative Co= mmons. The seminar will be interactive and please come and join us with you= r questions, comments, and ideas. We shall have discussions, talks, and pan= el presentations.
