Building Structural Equity: Michigan Publishing Celebrates Open Access Week - University of Michigan Press Blog

Today marks the start of this year’s Open Access Week, and we at Michigan Publishing are eager to share with you the ways that we are working to open research now and in the future.

At its core, open access (OA) is an ever-evolving approach to sharing research. It is the practice of making journal articles, books, data, and infrastructures freely available to use online. Opening this content to everyone, no matter where they are located, allows people to be part of larger, global conversations where they can share ideas, experiment, learn from each other, and ultimately create richer avenues for research.
