SSP’s highly interactive workshop, “Open Access: Understanding Mission, Models, and Mandates,” is back by popular demand for its third year, July 19 and 20. Led by Professor and Coordinator for Research and Teaching Professional Development at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Scholarly Kitchen Chef Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe, we’ve expanded this year’s workshop across two sessions tailored to experience levels—OA 101: The Basics and OA 201: The Models.
This workshop has become a must-attend for early-career professionals as well as those more experienced in scholarly communications who want to enhance their understanding of the latest developments in open access publishing and their contexts in the wider academic ecosystem. Attend either session or attend both and save!
Session 1 | OA 101: The Basics
Wednesday, July 19, 2023, 12:00 – 2:00 pm ET
Over the past two decades, Open Access publishing has evolved from an idea into a widely accepted practice in scholarly communications. Participants in this introductory workshop will learn about the history and evolution of OA principles and practices, from the Budapest Open Access Initiative of 2002 to Plan S and the recent OSTP memo, emphasizing distinguishing green and gold OA. Participants will explore how these considerations impact publishing at the article and journal level and how copyright and creative commons licenses may also factor in author compliance with funder mandates.
Session 2 | OA 201: The Models
Thursday, July 20, 2023, 12:00 – 2:00 pm ET
Open access publishing is funded through various models, including micropayments, transformative agreements, pure publish agreements, memberships, and collective action. Participants in this workshop will learn about the various business models, their applicability in different contexts, and how they can complement one another. The workshop will also explore how these models impact author compliance with funder mandates.
Discounted rates are available for AUPresses, NASIG, NISO, LPC, and ACSE Members, and bulk discounts make this a perfect professional development opportunity. Space is limited! Registration is limited to 60 individuals at each session. Learn more!

About the Society for Scholarly Publishing The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP), founded in 1978, is a nonprofit organization formed to promote and advance communication among all sectors of the scholarly publication community through networking, information dissemination, and facilitation of new developments in the field. SSP members represent all aspects of scholarly publishing—including publishers, printers, e-products developers, technical service providers, librarians, and editors.
