[3] Networked Research contributors who are already registered do not need to register again. If you already have an account with us, you are ready to go! [4] There is no need to submit an abstract. [5] Participation will be through blog posts (of any length; they can be quite brief) on our blog to be published during Open Access Week, 22-28 October 2012. [6] Drafts can be left at any time before the event but all unconference participations must be published during 22-28 October 2012. [7] All blog posts will be categorised with ‘Open Access Week 2012’ and will be archived on Networked Researcher under said category. [8] Posts can address any aspects related to open access (OA); all points of view are welcome. [9] All participants and contributions must observe our Community Policy and if need be refer to http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts for guidance and best practices. [10] Registered participants can also refer to our Networked Researcher Guidance Notes for Contributors.  Some examples of topics that can be addressed are: [1] Open access and academic publishing; business models, peer review. [2] Open access and public libraries. [3] Open access and institutional repositories. [4] Open access and research impact. [5] Open access and Open Educational Resources. [6] Open access and publicly funded research. [7] Open access publishing and social media; interactions, tools, studies, metrics. [8] Open access and government, democracy, citizen participation. [9] Open access in the humanities and social sciences; comparisons with open access in science. [10] Open access and the digital humanities; humanities computing. [11] Open access and intellectual property and copyright; creative commons licensing. [12] Open access in international development. [13] The open access movement in different countries. [14] Open access and health information provision, for example about HIV and AIDS.  As a symbolic recognition of their work, Networked Researcher will post a printed certificate (and a digital version too!) of participation to those bloggers who contribute posts of more than 1000 words that week.  Since Open Access Week is a a reputed international event (now on its sixth year) this is potentially a good opportunity of raising your academic research/publication profile by reaching  a targeted, specialised audience.”
