The Dean of Graduate Research, Professor Tara Brabazon, is a huge advocate of Open Access publishing. We asked Tara why Open Access is so important for Higher Degrees by Research students:<\/p>\n
“Open Access reminds researchers why we research.\u00a0 Our work is written to be read.\u00a0 I want the dissemination of our research \u2013 our readers and our audience \u2013 to reach the world.\u00a0 So often, publishers hide our articles behind a paywall.\u00a0 But a credit card should not determine the right to read our research.\u00a0 Open Access publications show that interest, motivation and passion are the only requirements to read and apply our findings.\u00a0 In that way, our universities \u2013 our researchers \u2013 enable engaged, informed citizenship.<\/em>”<\/p>\n We are holding a series of informal events around Flinders University Campuses to promote Open Access, including Pop-up Library chats in the Colleges and a free lunchtime screening of the film Paywall: the business of scholarship<\/em>.\u00a0 We encourage you to join us and welcome your curiosity in finding out how we can help you demystify & get the most out of Open Access publishing options for your research.<\/p>\n Follow us on twitter<\/strong> @FlindersLib and facebook<\/strong> https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/flindersuniversitylibrary\/<\/a> for Open Access Week updates.<\/p>\n Want to know more about the film?<\/strong> Want to know more about Open Access?<\/strong> Inspiring Research Article<\/a> (essentially the same as below)<\/p>\n More resources from AOASG (Australian Open Access Strategy Group)<\/strong><\/p>\n Link to Images & Graphics for Open Access: https:\/\/aoasg.org.au\/downloadable-graphics\/<\/a><\/p>\n
