Open Access Week | EIFL

Kirstine's bookmarks 2020-09-18

Summary:

Every year, libraries around the world advocate for change by taking part in International Open Access (OA) Week, a global event established by SPARC and partners in the student community in 2008. The week is an opportunity to take action in making openness the default for research — to raise the visibility of scholarship, accelerate research, and turn breakthroughs into better lives.  

Universities, colleges, research institutes, funding agencies, libraries, and think tanks have all used OA Week as a platform to host faculty votes on campus OA policies, to present on the social and economic benefits of OA, to commit new funds in support of OA publication, and more. The EIFL Open Access Programme encourages libraries across the EIFL network to take part in OA Week, and helps them prepare for this exciting global event. The official hashtag of OA Week is #OAweek.
