Open Science for Archaeology: an up-to-date guide (2022)

Abstract

It is possible to ensure this talk into the “Open” philosophy tout-court and not on a specific issue. As it will read, only during the last year did ArcheoFOSS officially bring the “golden road” for its proceeding publication. The paper aims to get the public up to date as a brief guide to speed with Open Access applications and smartly understand the value of Open Access in the research world. The paper consists of four sessions: during the first, titled “The project,” we will recognise the previous situation in ArcheoFOSS publication, and we will define why it was essential to decide to publish from 2020 on all the proceedings in an Open Access way. The second called “Open Access Basics”, shows the fundamental rules to remember when discussing this theme. In the third session, we can find how to “Publish in Open Access”, and the last one, a “Smart introduction in the Wiki-world”, is a practical chapter.
