Listening to @StacyTShaw & @Bryan_G_Cook about Preprint and OA right now! Learning a lot about doing this work so I'm gonna start live tweeting! https://twitter.com/BrianNosek/status/1354403761230405640
Which journals are open access (the degree to which the publications are free to anyone)? Use http://DOAJ.org !
I just searched DOAJ for journals with education as a subject that are published in English and do not have publication fees- 781 journals came up?! WHAT?!

What about your already-published work? Are you allowed to put it in various places for free? How do you know?
Check out the Sherpa Romeo website ( https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/ ). It tells you what and when you can put your work out there depending on where you published it.

Fun facts as to why you should do pre-prints:
-Higher citation rates
-Not waste participants' time with work no one sees
-Help decrease publication bias
-Increase access to the wider world
-Some journals are turning to a pre-print first model ( https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03541-5)

So if you're on board with pre-prints, how do you actually create the document? You can just upload your own Word/PDF or you can check out "Pretty Preprints" by @bmwiernik that mimics typical journal formatting before uploading https://osf.io/hsv6a/
Where do you then put the document? In education research, @EdArXiv is an option. There is also @PsyArXiv if your work is adjacent to psychology. There's also an @OSFramework pre-print server ( https://osf.io/preprints/ ). Some have just put them on their own websites.
What license to use? @OSF has a list of the licenses & the guidebooks.
Popular ones = CC-BY Attribution recommended (Creative Commons; can use with as long as they cite) or CC-BY NC (can use it if they cite and for non-commercial use) https://help.osf.io/hc/en-us/articles/360019739014-Licensing

There are some limitations... A few journals won't allow submissions of pre-printed work (but IMO you wouldn't want to submit there anyway) & you might limit the # of blind reviewers to the work which is rough if it's a super small field but you could just hold it until reviewed
Amazing first day so far at #OSPER2021 -- feeling empowered to do #OpenScience
Builds nicely off the recent @Within_Between podcast
