Open Scholarship
Open Scholarship consultations are available to the whole university community. Open Access Scholarship movement focuses on the removal of barriers that stand between a user and scholarly content. Funders have created Open Access policies because they contribute to the public good and the advancement of scholarship. Studies have confirmed that Open Access publications are more widely read and more frequently cited than those behind a paywall. In addition to these benefits for the author, making research openly available is in the public interest. Individuals not affiliated with an institution with journal subscriptions will be able to access and build on the published research for innovation.
