Open Access Week 2023: October 23 - 29

Check out the list of events happening around the world (many of which can be joined for free, remotely) at openaccessweek.org. This year’s theme focuses on community over commercialization and, per the website, “encourages conversations about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community — and which do not.”

The following events may be of particular interest.  Follow the links below for more information and to register:
