Open Access Week is an annual global event during which members of the academic and research communities come together to discuss how removing existing barriers to accessing scholarly research could transform the way research and scientific inquiry is conducted. In 2016, Open Access Week runs from October 24 to October 30.
Mr. Sheehan, the OSTP’s Assistant Director of Scientific Data and Information, will address the implementation of the public access policy for data from all federally grant-funded research projects. Other topics will include: Open Educational Resources (OERs), Scholars Archive, UAlbany’s open access digital repository, and an update on SUNY-wide open access initiatives.
