‘The Open Arts Journal: How open access publishing has supported and expanded public-facing research in the Arts and Humanities.’

Speakers: Leon Wainwright, Professor of Art History, The Open University, and Editor-in-Chief of the Open Arts Journal, and Alice Sanger, Managing Editor, Open Arts Journal.

This presentation is part of Open Research Week (24-28 March) from the Open University (OU). The overall aim is to celebrate and promote open research, showcasing examples of our open practices across many disciplines. Throughout the week, you’ll hear about the real world applications and engagement of our openly available data, outputs and citizen science platforms. You’ll also hear about open science practices that could help you if you want to make your research processes and outputs more open. Webinars include a talk by the team that developed the OU’s free course on Open Research, researchers using citizen science platforms to extend data collection, open book and journal publishing options, and talks on AI.

All sessions are online and will be recorded. Click here to register for individual webinars: Open Research Week 2025 | The Open University
