Open access publishing with Leila Moore

In this episode, Dr Casy Calver and Dr Rob Calder talk to Leila Moore about the history, principles, and processes relating to open access publishing, as well as the mechanisms by which research is made freely available for people who want to access it.

Leila explains how open access publishing can increase accessibility and ensure research reaches a more diverse readership meaning that people who previously could not access research findings now can. Leila also explains article processing charges (APCs) and transformational agreements.

"Open access increases opportunities for collaboration, reduces duplication, speeds up groundbreaking discoveries, and enables more people than ever before to access this research. Whether that's a patient looking for information on illness, a teacher looking for new ways to work with students, or a researcher who discovers the next great opportunity for collaboration."

Leila Moore is Director of Open Access policy at Wiley.
