Get Involved

Open Scholarship, Science, Education

Open is now widely understood to include open access publishing while encompassing the broader research and education life-cycle.

Ways of getting involved:

  • Learning more about the open landscape, OA-publishing, open-data practices, open education, open-source software open methodologies. Decide which open practices are right for you at this point in your career.
  • Learn about your author rights.
  • Develop an open-access plan, research data management plan, and knowledge mobilization plan as part of your research practice. A good plan is one that works for you.
  • Participate in Open Access month every October or Open Education month every March.  
  • Learn about the history of Concordia's involvement in Open as well as the latest from Concordia's Open Science Working group.
  • Get in touch with colleagues who are already involved in the open landscape.
  • If you don't know where to get started, get in touch with your subject librarian.   

Concordia University Library Supports Open

Open at Concordia was developed by Rachel Harris in collaboration with subject librarian colleagues at Concordia University Library and the Open Science Working Group. Psychology subject librarian Melissa Rivosecchi modelled the guide's first discipline-specific page in consultation with Harris and OSWG co-lead Nicolás Alessandroni.
