Secondary Publication Rights for research: What are the options to openly publish your research?
Across Europe, researchers may have the legal right to make their work openly accessible – even if published behind a paywall – thanks to Secondary Publication Rights (SPRs). Yet many are unaware of this right or unsure how to take advantage of it.
Join us at an online event on Monday 19 May at 10-12 CET to learn how SPRs work and how these rights are implemented in Europe (in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, and Bulgaria). Hear real-world experiences from researchers and librarians and explore how SPRs can support open science and increase the visibility of your work.
