In this session of the Research Impact at UTS series, we will cover research impact with respect to open access publishing.

Open Access is not just a publishing model; it’s a movement rooted in making knowledge freely available to all, regardless of geographical or financial barriers. Within the Australian context, Open Access is gaining traction as universities, research institutions, and policymakers recognise its role in promoting equity, fostering innovation, and driving societal impact. To celebrate international Open Access week, join us at this presentation to explore how Open Access can enhance your impact - by increasing citations, boosting visibility, and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue.

Discover the benefits of making your research freely accessible to a global audience, and learn about the various Open Access models, copyright considerations, and best practices to ensure your work reaches its widest audience while maintaining academic rigor and integrity. We'll be sharing practical know-how framed by UTS research impact exemplars.

Presented by Ria Hamblett, Open Scholarship and Copyright Team, UTS Library and Catherine McElhone, Research Impact Facilitator, Research Office
