Open Access Week

This year’s Open Access Week theme of “Open in Action” is all about taking concrete steps to open up research and scholarship and encouraging others to do the same. To highlight ideas for taking action and to measure the community’s collective efforts, we’ve created this action portal where you can indicate which steps you’ll take to support Open Access. You can find more information and resources to support each action by clicking here.
