Open Access to Academic Research | June 2017 | Communications of the ACM

"I recently spent a half-day with a group of government agency, publishing industry, and academic institutional representatives to discuss key considerations leading to improved access to academic research results, associated data, and analytic software. The sponsoring organization is the Open Scholarship Initiative (osinitiative.org) and its primary goal is accessibility of research and scholarly output. This was not necessarily about free access as much as making things easily discoverable and accessible."
