Open Access Week - October 25-31

Celebrate Open Access Week October 25-31

The goal of Open Access is to digitally publish scholarly work making it easily accessible and free to use responsibly by the public. Authors retain control of the integrity of their work and the right to be properly cited and acknowledged. This way of publishing scholarly works looks to supplement or in some cases replace the current pay-for-access journals that limit access through price and permission barriers. Open Access hopes to restore the original intent of scholarly publication by removing these barriers and getting scholarly work seen and used by the most people possible.  

Why open access?

Promotes faster transmission of ideas, and builds research infrastructure  
Increases visibility and citation counts for authors
Eliminates inequities in access to knowledge
Gives taxpayers access to publicly-funded research
