Open Access Week

Open Access Week, organized by The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC), is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they have learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.

The Georgia Knowledge Repository (GKR) offers scholarly resources from institutions in the University System of Georgia. Part of its mission is to advance the state of scholarly communication in the United States by exploring open access for university press content.

As part of the celebration for Open Access Week, please join the USG Faculty Development Monthly Series webinar, entitled “Scholarly Open Access Publishing and the Peril of Predatory Publishers” with Jeffrey Beall from the University of Colorado Denver on Tuesday, October 22 from 12:00pm - 1:30pm. Register at the USG Faculty Development Month Series site.
