Open Science Meet & Greet: Open Access Fundamentals

Abstract

This presentation introduces the core principles of Open Access within the Open Science framework. It outlines mandates for immediate access to publications and data, aligned with FAIR principles. Researchers must ensure transparency through open metadata and retain IP rights for compliance. Options for Open Access include self-archiving and covering APCs when budgeted. IE University supports this through its institutional repository, enhancing visibility and impact. The repository accepts various document versions and ensures long-term preservation. Creative Commons licensing and proper metadata are essential for repository contributions. The IE Library offers guidance and tools to help researchers meet Open Access requirements.
