New scholars, including graduate students and early career researchers, are expected to conduct research and disseminate their findings internationally. While they are able to receive mentoring on the research project and process, most new scholars are left to figure out the publication landscape on their own. Issues such as copyright, publication ethics, research integrity, authorship, and use of generative artificial intelligence are some of the complex topics that are often not taught explicitly, leaving scholars to figure them out on their own. At a large Midwest university in the United States, the authors of this poster presentation secured a grant to write and publish an open educational resource (OER) that addresses these critical competencies. This OER covers three key areas: the basics of research publishing, research and publishing ethics and regulations, and technological tools for research publishing and digital accessibility. In this poster presentation, the authors will describe the topics covered, how they piloted the materials within a graduate-level course serving U.S. and international students, and how they secured expert feedback from institutional partners and peer institution colleagues. The poster will provide previews of chapter layouts, including scenario callouts and activities. The audience can access and download a copy of the OER, share the resource with students and colleagues, and discuss the potential for integrating it into their own program.
