The seminar will start with a brief introduction in Open Access and will explain the current state of the Open Access at the ICMAB. Then, we will focus on the methods to publish in Open Access from the ICMAB: Open Access with free APC (Article Processing Charge), Open Access journal, Digital Repositories, Digital CSIC, etc.

The 2019 Open Access Week Advisory Committee is pleased to announce that the theme for the 2019 International Open Access Week, to be held October 21-27, will be “Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge”.
As the transition to a system for sharing knowledge that is open by default accelerates, the question “open for whom?” is essential—both to consider and to act upon. Whose interests are being prioritized in the actions we take and in the platforms that we support? Whose voices are excluded? Are underrepresented groups included as full partners from the beginning? Are we supporting not only open access but also equitable participation in research communication? These questions will determine the extent to which emerging open systems for research will address inequities in the current system or replicate and reinforce them.
