Open Access publishing is not only a requirement of many funders, it benefits researchers by ensuring accessibility of their work for greatest impact – and maximum citations. Open Access publishing does require some understanding and planning, however, particularly when many misconceptions about Open Access prevail and predatory publishers are happy to exploit the confusion of the unwary. This module will provide a thorough introduction to Open Access in order to explain the multiple paths to open access and how to identify deceptive journals, enabling you to make informed choices for your research publications.
