Open Access week: 23-29th October | Open Scholarship

"For Open Access week we have a series of blog posts lined up to be published every day. We’ll start by describing the current state of play of open access here at Edinburgh, before moving on to highlight some of the innovative projects and initiatives we are involved in to develop and promote scholarly communication. We will round off the week by sharing our long-term strategy to support our academics to make their research open. Our blog-posting schedule will look something like this:

Monday : University of Edinburgh 2016/17 Gold open access spend analysis. Tuesday : University of Edinburgh Green open access and REF compliance. Wednesday : Implementing the UK-Scholarly Communications Licence (UK-SCL) Thursday : Academic-led publishing supported by the Library and other actors. Friday : The University of Edinburgh’s longer-term strategy for open access."
