MYSCIENCENEWS

"For International Open Access Week 2012, MyScienceWork organized two events in Paris, bringing together numerous players in the movement. During the first evening, hosted by the University Pierre and Marie Curie, partner for this event, Bernard Rentier revealed the reasons for the success of, ORBi, the open access university repository, which now holds 85,000 publications. Publishing in open access is, quite logically, in the interest of researchers: an article published in open access is read 30 times more and cited 30 times more than when it appears in a paid journal. But the impressive results of ORBi are also tied to its 'quasi-mandatory' nature… In this video interview, find out about the 'trick' used by the University of Liège and Bernard Rentier to promote open access to scientific publications.
