2024 Fall Seminar Series — Patricia Hartman
September 25, 2024 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

SPEAKER: Patricia Hartman, Biology, Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, and Math Librarian, Auburn University Libraries
TITLE: Open access and data archiving mandates
ABSTRACT: Open access publications give scholars worldwide an opportunity to access cutting-edge research, while also benefiting the authors by making their work read more widely and cited more often. However, these benefits often come at a high price, with article processing charges regularly in excess of $2000. New policy mandates requiring all federally funded research be freely, immediately available to the public further complicate matters, and the logistics of how these policies will be implemented are still unclear. This presentation will focus on current models of open access publishing in the academic journal world, along with copyright options, open access policies for journals in relevant fields, and publisher agreements the Libraries has in place to support AU researchers.
SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: Patricia Hartman is an Associate Professor at Auburn University Libraries, where she has served as the Subject Librarian for the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment as well as the Departments of Biological Sciences and Mathematics since 2013. Additionally, she specializes in scholarly communications issues related to open access, scholarly identity and federal funding mandates. Patricia received master’s degrees in Forestry and Wildlife and in Library and Information Science from the University of Kentucky.
