Every year we celebrate a week of open access. It’s an opportunity for the academic community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of open access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make open access a new norm in scholarship and research. This year’s theme is Community Over Commercialization. For more information about Open Access, visit our website.
