“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 them – has the power to transform the way research and scientific inquiry are conducted. It has direct and widespread implications for academia, medicine, science, industry, and for society as a whole.
To celebrate Open Access Week, the Library has developed an Open Access Publishing LibGuide to explain more about Open Access within the JCU context.
