Invitation to Open Science Community discussion

We are excited to invite you to our next Open Science Community Kaunas (OSCK) meetup. In this session, we will address a very common and practical challenge: How do you legally self-archive your published work after the embargo period?

A fellow researcher recently published her article through a no-fee route, but it came with a specific embargo period! She wants to find out how the length of the embargo period is determined, which version of the article or manuscript can be used for self-archiving, and where the document can be uploaded to increase its visibility and citation rate without violating copyright. Together, we will walk through this scenario step-by-step.

During our time over coffee and tea, we will cover the following topics:

• The differences between a Preprint, Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM), and the Version of Record (VoR);
• How to check journal’s publishing policy and embargo timeline using open tools;
• How to select an appropriate repository for self-archiving;
• and even more!

Whether you are preparing your very first manuscript, have a version ready to submit or you already have accepted or published paper, this session is for you!
