Kudzu-Ops Mailing List: ASERL Open Access Week 2014 Webcast: "Erin McKiernan: Open Access -- A Researcher's View"

[John Burger (jburger]

ASERL Friends:

I am pleased to announce our ASERL Open Access Week 2014 Webcast.  Our speaker 
will be Erin McKiernan, a researcher working primarily in experimental and 
theoretical neuroscience at Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de 
Monterrey in Xochitepec, Morelos, México.  Erin will lead a presentation "Open 
Access:  A Researcher's View", followed by Q&A from ASERL members.  Erin 
received her PhD from the University of Arizona, and now works in Mexico at the 
National Institute of Public Health. The differences in literature access 
between the US and Mexico started Erin on her current path of open access 
advocate. She will discuss her personal experiences with lack of access to 
scholarly literature, publishing in subscription and OA journals, green 
self-archiving, open peer review, and altmetrics.  Christine Fruin and Robin 
Sinn will moderate the discussion.
