Publishing Freely: Cost-Free Open Access Opportunities for Researchers Online
Open access expands the reach of scholarship, but it’s often misunderstood as something that requires costly publishing fees. In reality, many routes exist to share your work openly—at no cost.
This session will explore practical strategies for publishing open access without paying article or book processing charges. We’ll look at opportunities through Diamond OA publishers, institutional and disciplinary repositories, community-led platforms, preprints, and library-supported initiatives. Special attention will be given to emerging models for OA books, which make long-form scholarship more accessible worldwide. By the end, you’ll leave with a roadmap for publishing articles and books openly—without financial barriers.
