I am super happy to announce that I have been awarded a US$5000 grant from @StraussLibrary to develop an OER ("Open Educational Resource") Casebook of Public Health Ethics Teaching Cases.
Other than the wonderful CDC Casebook, teaching cases in #PHEthx are scarce.

I should know, since I have been scraping the Internet for a decade trying to find them. One of the first-day axioms in #PHEthx is that in important ways it is simply different from health care/clinical ethics. Good teaching cases must reflect these differences.

But some of the early casebooks are frankly dated, and other than the remarkable CDC Casebook ⬇️ there simply are not any good collections of cases really focused on public health ethics & law/policy (let alone open-source ones, either).

Inspired by today's Open science panel @MCAA_CroChapter event, here's a short #GreenOA guide, useful for scholars w/limited funds.
Most Cro journals are funded by ministry & required to be diamond OA = free-to-read & free-to-publish, available at : hrcak.srce.hr 1/7

But, the authors who want (& need to= publish in international journals are often faced with the fact that the most of the prestigious ones are hybrid journals which means you need to pay for Gold OA if you want your article to be accessible. 2/7
This is very costly & Cro institutions don't have funds nor contracts with publishers as some other countries (e.g. Slovenia & Sage ), which would allow them to publish Gold OA free of charge. But there are other options that are under-utilized, most notably Green OA. 3/7
