Shaping the future of open publishing: Introducing new PKP + SFU online courses -- free webinar October 30 2025

In an era of disinformation, polarization, and growing mistrust of academic institutions, scholarly publishing is more important now than ever.

To help students and practitioners navigate this rapidly changing landscape with confidence, PKP, in collaboration with Simon Fraser University’s (SFU) Master of Publishing (MPub) program, SFU Library, and Lifelong Learning, is launching three scholarly communication courses – each with a unique focus on open access publishing – to graduate and continuing education (non-credit) students starting January 2026.

The course materials will be made openly available after the courses wrap up.
