What’s this? Open Access Week is a global event to celebrate the Open Access movement, which makes research and scholarship freely available online to anyone, anywhere!

Isn’t research already freely available online?  Some is.  Much is not.  Many researchers publish their work in journals that are available only through expensive subscriptions.  (In the sciences, a subscription to just one publication can cost thousands of dollars!)  Researchers with limited budgets cannot afford expensive journals.  Hence, that research is not shared.

How does Open Access help?  Open Access publications are freely available online to anyone, anywhere
