Open Access Week (October 19 – 23 2015) is ‘Open for Collaboration’! This year’s Open Access week will focus on our Open Access success stories. Follow us on Twitter @FlindersLib.

Open Access makes research publications and datasets freely available without passwords or paywalls. Want to know more? Join the Library’s lunchtime seminar on Wednesday, 21 October 2015 at 1 pm in Central Library Lab 2. Register here.

Flinders University supports Open Access through our Institutional Repository the Flinders Academic Commons.

Open Access means…

• greater exposure for your work
• higher citation rates
• practitioners can apply your findings
• possible collaborators can link up with you
• no more reinventing the wheel.

Plus, if you place your work in the Flinders Academic Commons…

• your work is more easily found by Google and Google Scholar, ranking higher in search results
• your work is given a permanent URL, which you can disseminate easily through social media, add to your publications list or bibliographies
• your work is securely archived for the long term.

So think ‘Open’ and talk to the eResearch team at eResearch@flinders.edu.au today.
