This year, October 25-31 is International Open Access Week, and Emory is celebrating its authors\u00a0who\u00a0have shared their scholarship openly by\u00a0featuring\u00a0them on the\u00a0<\/span>Open Access at Emory website<\/span><\/b><\/a>, which features information about OA books, journals, and journal articles produced by Emory authors. The site is collaboratively sponsored by the <\/span>Emory Center for\u00a0Digital Scholarship<\/span><\/a>, the\u00a0<\/span>Emory Scholarly Communications Office<\/span><\/a>, the\u00a0<\/span>Emory Digital\u00a0Publishing in the Humanities Initiative<\/span><\/a>, and the\u00a0<\/span>Emory Center for Faculty Development and Excellence<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For those who <\/span>may be unfamiliar with open access,\u00a0SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition)\u00a0defines it\u00a0simply as \u201c<\/span>the free, immediate, online availability of research articles coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment.<\/span><\/a>\u201d But open access now includes more than just journal articles. Scholarly books, textbooks, images, videos, and more can all be open access, which means that these materials are free of cost and licensed in a way that facilitates sharing and reuse. Open access moves away from paywalls and restrictions on copying and moves toward equitable access to knowledge for all. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SPARC\u00a0is the international\u00a0OA Week\u00a0leader, and this year, they decided on a theme centered on equity:\u00a0<\/span>It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SPARC chose this theme to reflect the importance of the <\/span>recently released\u00a0draft\u00a0<\/span>UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science<\/span>,<\/span><\/a>\u00a0which is expected to be adopted by UNESCO\u2019s General Conference next month\u00a0and will \u201cdefine shared values and principles for Open Science, and identify concrete measures on Open\"\"<\/a> Access and Open Data, with proposals to bring citizens closer to science and commitments to facilitate the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge around the world.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Emory Scholarly Communications Office\u00a0(<\/span>@EmoryLibsOA<\/span><\/a>) has tweets planned every day this week focused on various open access services we provide, so we hope you\u2019ll follow us on Twitter and share the open access love with your followers!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
