Publishing Journal Articles in Open Access

With increasing emphasis on Open Access (OA) by the Research Grants Council (RGC) and PolyU, understanding how to make your research articles Open Access (OA) is crucial.

Designed for early career researchers who have little to no publishing experience, this seminar will provide you an overview on getting your research published, with a focus on tips you need to know about OA. Our Librarian will also talk about the OA requirements from RGC and PolyU, as well as how the library can support.

Key topics will be covered:

  • Selecting the right journals
  • Open Access
  • Preparing your manuscript for publication
  • The peer review process
  • How to respond to reviewer reports
  • Top reasons for rejection
  • How to promote your work
  • RGC and PolyU Open Access requirements
