Open Access Week, a global event now entering its eighth year, is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research. Activities at universities around the world will promote the merits of open access in scholarly communications to students and faculty. Be a part of “Generation Open” – celebrate Open Access Week (October 20 – 26) with activities on your campus. To learn more Visit Open Access Week.
