English-language Open Access courses

The free of charge online courses of the Open Access Network offer a flexible way to acquire in-depth knowledge of academic publishing in Open Access. The self-study courses are provided via the TIB - Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology (TOERN) platform, are freely accessible and can be viewed without registration. Only registration is required for a certificate.

Two courses have recently been made available in English, which are particularly suitable for international students:

• Open Access Publishing for Doctoral Students: introduction to open access publishing, especially for doctoral students.
   
• Predatory Journals: Identify, Avoid, and Publish Safely: recognising dubious journals and making safe publishing decisions.

Use the courses to expand your publication skills in a targeted manner and to navigate the international academic system with confidence.
