Congratulations to our 2026 Open Access Champions, recognised for their participation in Charles Sturt University Library’s Bring Out Your Dead campaign!
The campaign encouraged researchers to revisit their previously published research, track down their author accepted manuscripts (AAMs), and work with the Library to make more of their research freely accessible through Green Open Access.
We had 67 participants in the campaign, far more than we’d anticipated, and were genuinely thrilled by the response.
Our 2026 Open Access Champions are:
- Emma Rush – Faculty of Arts and Education
- Rachel Hogg – Faculty of Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences
- Anne Johnson – Research
- Karen Hayes – Faculty of Science and Health
We’d like to thank everyone who participated, particularly those who took the time to track down their manuscripts and engage with the Library about open access.
As research funders move towards stronger open access requirements, this work is increasingly important. But beyond meeting mandates, making research freely accessible helps ensure that knowledge can be read, shared and built upon by people who might otherwise be unable to access it.
Congratulations again to our Open Access Champions, and thank you to everyone who helped make Bring Out Your Dead a success
