What is The Publishing Trap?
The Publishing Trap is a board game from Chris Morrison (University of Kent) and Jane Secker (City, University of London), aka the UK Copyright Literacy team and creators of Copyright the Card Game. The game lets you explore the impact of scholarly communications choices and discuss the role of open access in research by following the lives of four researchers, from doctoral research to their academic legacies.
The game has generated significant international interest whilst in development. It’s being launched at the University of Kent’s Open Access week, giving Kent, Greenwich and Canterbury Christ Church researchers the first opportunity to play the finished article.
