1. Brainstorm at your tables some common questions about scholarly communication that you are asked or that you wonder about. Make a list. 2. With your table mates, choose one or two you would like to share with the wider group. Brainstorm, Björn Andersson, from The Noun Project (CC-BY 3.0)

“Why should I care about Open Access? I can get access to everything that I need.” “Can I use the graph I published in Journal X in a future publication?” “What’s the point of an institutional repository?” “My funding agency requires that I make the results of my research - including data - freely available online. What does this mean?” “Who cares? I post my articles on my website anyway.” “Why should I have to pay to publish my work?” “What can I do to create a sustainable model for scholarship?” “Is Open Access publishing really reputable? I have to publish in the key peer-reviewed journals in my field in order to get tenure.”
