“Open Access” to information – the free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you need – has the power to transform the way research and scientific inquiry are conducted. Research funding agencies, universities, and the general public are supporting a move towards Open Access in increasing numbers every year.

Open Access Week, a global event now entering its sixth year, is an opportunity for you to learn about the benefits of Open Access, and to take action to keep the momentum moving forward!
