About the Webinar

Funders, authors and readers may want open access to research, but can
they achieve it? A researcher who has been encouraged to make their
work open has to deal with regulations, guidance, and mandates from
their institution, their funders, their publisher and their national
government. These policies are often complex and can be ambiguous, or
in conflict with each other.

A supportive policy environment and guidance through the relationship
of one policy to another has proved to be essential for real progress
in opening access to research. How should policies support the
researcher and the research process?  How can policies based on
commercial profit fit into an open environment? What role do funders
have in protecting their investment and the public interest?

Presented by Bill Hubbard

Bill Hubbard is the Director of the Centre for Research Communications
(CRC) at the University of Nottingham, incorporating the work of
SHERPA. The CRC has a portfolio of Open Access projects and services
and is a recognised centre of expertise for OA development, policy,
repositories and infrastructure.

Bill created the award-winning OA services RoMEO, JULIET and OpenDOAR,
which are used around the world to unpick details of stakeholder
policies, development policy and which underpin repository use. The
CRC have also recently launched FACT, to support researchers in
complying with specific RCUK and Wellcome Trust OA polices. Bill has
also worked closely with OA publishers and advised on the transitions
involved for commercial publishers from traditional to OA business
models.
