This webinar is open to all researchers in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong who are interested to find out more about publishing in open access. The publishing business is changing and we are seeing trends of more open research surfacing in the past 10 years. Open research is about making research more collaborative, transparent and reproducible, so that it leads to better outcomes.
We have invited the Editor-in-Chief from Aging and Cancer Journal, James DeGregori, to share with us his perspective on open access publishing. Aging and Cancer is a quarterly peer-reviewed, international open access journal that is focused on understanding how the process of aging is a central component of cancer evolution and progression. We will end the session with a quick sharing on the open access guides and resources by APAC Customer Success Manager from Wiley, Autumn Tay.
Webinar outline:
• Advantages of publishing in open access – why it matters to authors
• How to catch the attention of the editorial board when submitting a scientific paper in an open access journal
• Wiley open access transformative agreements in Asia Pacific
• Open access guides and resources on Wiley Author Services

James DeGregori is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics (faculty since 1997) and Deputy Director of the University of Colorado Cancer Center. He has degrees from the University of Texas at Austin (B.A. Microbiology) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (PhD Biology), and received postdoctoral training at Duke University. He holds the Courtenay and Lucy Patten Davis Endowed Chair in Lung Cancer Research, and is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Aging And Cancer. His lab studies the evolution of cancer, in the context of their Adaptive Oncogenesis model, with a focus on how aging, smoking, Down Syndrome, and other insults influence cancer initiation and responses to therapy. In this model, mutations face fitness landscapes that vary with age, genetics, or following carcinogen exposure. These fitness landscapes are highly dependent on the state of the tissue microenvironment in which stem cells reside. The lab has developed this cancer model based on classic evolutionary principles, and substantiated this model by theoretical, experimental and computational studies. Additional studies in the lab seek to identify metabolic and signaling vulnerabilities in cancer, with a focus on acute myeloid leukemias, that can be exploited for the development of more effective therapies. For all of these studies, we leverage a variety of tools, including computational biology, genomics, metabolomics, cell biology, and biochemistry, leveraging both mouse models and human samples.
