As described in our last post, the theme of this year's Open Access Week 'Open in Action' was all about taking concrete steps to open up research and scholarship and encouraging others to do the same.
With this in mind, the Library invited all researchers to join their OA experts at a range of drop-in sessions. To share the outcomes of these conversations even further, we have listed the most commonly asked questions here along with the support available from the Open Access team and colleagues.
The main themes discussed so far have been:

Most authors find this easiest to do in the active period following acceptance, and most publishers allow accepted versions (not published pdfs) to be made open access by this route. See our web page for a 2 minute 'deposit demo'.
Not just for R…
