Open Access Week 2023 - Octopus! Built for Researchers
Channel: DerbyUni Library
Date: 2024-01-22

In this talk, we are joined by Tim Fellows, Product Manager at Jisc and Dr. Alex Freeman, Executive Director, Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication at the University of Cambridge and creator of and lead for Octopus. They cover how the platform aims to sit alongside journals to create a new culture of collaboration and recognition, improve access to research outputs, and provide a new academic incentive structure to reward best practice and recognise specialisation. Octopus.ac is a new scientific publishing model, designed to encourage, enable, and reward best practice using 21st century tools. Free to read, free to publish, and entirely open source, this is a new way to register research that is fast, free and fair.
