Open Access Week is a global event and an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share and to help inspire.
Participating in Open Access Week can be as simple or involved as you like. OA week is an invaluable chance to connect the global momentum toward open sharing with the advancement of policy changes on the local level.
“OPEN ACCESS” to information – the free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you need. It has direct and widespread implications for academia and for society as a whole. OA is about making publicly funded research publications available to all without a subscription.
