This session focused on a key set of Jisc national services and initiatives that support institutions across the lifecycle of open access, from the submission of a paper to a journal, to its download and use, enabling universities both to support their authors and readers, and comply with relevant policies from research councils and others. The particular focus for this session was what can people use right now and near term to support them in meeting funder requirements.
