In light of the current situation regarding open access, Kanazawa University Library has concluded conversion agreements with Springer-Nature in January 2024 and with Elsevier in April.

“Ttransformative agreement”is a contract that includes electronic journal subscription fees and article processing charges (APCs) as a set. When a faculty member, staff member, or graduate student of the University is accepted by a contracted journal as a corresponding author, the APCs are partially waived (paid by the University) on a first-come, up to the annual publication limit set by each contract.

 

For this seminar, we will have a guest speaker from Elsevier Japan who will give a lecture on recent trends in open access and the specific steps to take when publishing an open access paper.

 

We welcome the participation of not only those who plan to submit papers to Elsevier ScienceDirect journals, but also faculty, staff, and graduate students who are interested in open access.

 

Date and time: Thursday, October 10, 2024, 16:30-17:00 (scheduled)

 *A recording will be made available to the public on campus at a later date
