12/02/2025 APCs and their alternatives to Open Access publishing 

If you have decided to publish in open access, you have most likely already heard of APCs or "Article Processing Charges": some publishers allow open access distribution of scientific publications in exchange for publication fees.  

This funding model is extremely costly and difficult to sustain in the long term. However, there are alternatives that are less well known to researchers for publishing in open access without having to pay publication fees.  

The webinar aims to explain how APCs work and to present these alternative solutions. 

These webinars will then be posted on UM's YouTube channel, in the Open Science playlist. You can watch them whenever you like.
