Open Access Week – Take Action

It’s time to celebrate the movement to free scholarly research and make it available to all. The Open Access Week website has some suggestions for taking action. Among the things you can do:

• Upload your work to SocArXiv.
• Consider submitting an article to Open Library of Humanities.
• Take a look at the Open Science Framework and what it can do for your projects.
• Browse the Open Textbook Library and see if there’s a textbook that could be used in one of your courses.
• Make a conference paper open by submitting it to http://archives.gac.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/ir GustieScholar.
• If you have a DOI (Digital Object Identifier, a unique number assigned to articles in many disciplines) you can see if a free version is available using this handy website.
• JSTOR has just added more than 60 open access books that are freely available to anyone. Find more at the Directory of Open Access Books.

Do we have a (free and open) guide about open access? Of course we do!
