Please join us for the third and final workshop in our Faculty Scholarship Series, “Playing the Open Access ‘Mind’ Field: Dodging Predatory Journals and Article Processing Charges,” presented by Joseph Riggie, head of information management, and Chris Hulsman, electronic and educational resources librarian, on Tuesday, April 11, at 12:15 p.m. in Butler Library 318 or online.

This workshop addresses the open access publishing landscape. Publishing open access has become ubiquitous in academia and will continue to grow, as any federally funded study must be open access (OA) when published starting in 2026. Many obstacles and concerns surround open access publishing, especially predatory journals and avoiding the escalating costs of article processing charges (APCs). We will discuss strategies to avoid predatory publishers and dodge APCs in the open access realm. We will also discuss recent agreements that may waive OA publishing APCs for Buffalo State faculty now and in the future for some publishers.

If you cannot attend in person, you can join us live virtually.

Please register via the Workshop Registration System to attend in person or online via Microsoft Teams. The Faculty Scholarship Series is sponsored by the Teaching and Learning Center and E. H. Butler Library.
