What are the Paths to Sustainable and Universal Open Access? Online
To celebrate Open Access Week, the Centre for Teaching and Learning's OEP Program invites you to a special online presentation by Dr. John Willinsky, Founder of the Public Knowledge Project.
Abstract:
After working on various strategies for facilitating open access to research and scholarship over the last 26 years, Dr. Willinsky thinks it worthwhile to pause at this point to clarify the rationale and goals for open access. He will also consider why, after open access proved so valuable in fighting the pandemic, we are moving so slowly and expensively, in his estimation, toward making open access the standard for the circulation of research. And, finally, he will invite listeners to this talk to consider joining him in attempting to speed up the achievement of this widely shared goal through a variety of strategies.
