The purpose of this guide is to help acquaint the William Paterson University community with the basic principles of open access publishing and provide information resources to promote discussion about its potential benefits for both producers and consumers of scholarly research.
Peter Suber's Open Access (MIT Press, 2012) is a brief and very accessible primer on the concepts and practice of open access publishing. The book is itself available on an open access basis (in ePUB, Mobi, PDF, and HTML formats) and is highly recommended to anyone seeking an introduction to the subject.
