Publishing Open Access on the Tenure Track: Observations from the Trenches

Zoom

When I accepted a tenure-track job, I decided that my interest and insistence regarding open access meant I was committing to publishing open access along the tenure track. What followed was a set of rules for myself and a researcher journal where I have been recording my observations along the way. Now in my final year and prepping to go up for tenure in the fall of 2023, I would like to share what I have noted so far in my journey—successes and failures—and give some predictions about how libraries can lead the way in open access publishing.
