Countdown to Open Access Week
|
|
|
October 19-25, 2026
|
The lead-up to Open Access week is an ideal opportunity to go beyond promoting the Think. Check. Submit. checklists and to remind researchers why they are important.
|
|
As Open Access Week approaches, we encourage you to share our
short videos, available in multiple languages. Open access and research integrity are closely linked, but it's essential to recognise that not all journals are trustworthy. These videos explain what researchers should consider and check when choosing a
journal or book publisher. |

|
Questions Before You Submit
|
|
|
This is also an ideal time to encourage the researchers in your organisation to ask the following questions before submitting their work:
|
|
-
Who is behind this journal?
-
How is
peer review managed?
-
Are publication
fees clearly explained?
-
Will your work be easily
discoverable?
-
Is the publisher transparent about its policies?

Open Access Week is a great opportunity to dispel common myths and clarify that predatory publishing is about deceptive practices rather than being a different business model.
