SUMMARY:OA Advocacy: How students, student organizations and student g
 overnments can get involved
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday, January 31, 16:00-17:00 CET / 10:00-11:00 EST\nLo
 cation: Online\nRegistration is free, but required. \nAre you a studen
 t or a young researcher? Do you want to get engaged in Open Access, ed
 ucate your peers on the severe barriers to access to the latest resear
 ch, the benefits of Open Access, and how to get involved that the stud
 ent voice for Open Access becomes louder and stronger? Interested in l
 earning more about the Student Statement on the Right to Research and 
 about Right to Research Coalition?\nPlease join us for a conversation 
 with Nick Shockey, Director, Right to Research Coalition and Director 
 of Student Advocacy, SPARC.\nThe Problem: Students can't access essent
 ial research...\nAs a student, it’s no secret that academic journals
  are crucial to our research, our papers, and our understanding of bot
 h fine details and the larger, overall picture of everything we study.
  Yet, students often run into access barriers while to trying to do re
 search, forcing us to settle for what we can get access to, rather tha
 n what we need most. Over the past two decades, the price of subscript
 ions to academic journals has increased tremendously, to the point whe
 re they’re often out of reach for students, even at the most well fu
 nded institutions.\nThe Solution: Open Access\nLuckily for students, d
 octors, patients, and everyone else who relies on academic journals, t
 here is a proven alternative to costly subscription-based based journa
 ls. Using the Internet, research can be distributed to a wider audienc
 e at a very low marginal cost – the difference between what it costs
  to distribute an article to one person or to one million people is ve
 ry small. Instead of locking information behind price barriers, resear
 ch can reach anyone who needs it, regardless of university affiliation
 , geographic location, or ability to pay. It’s time for a new model 
 – it’s time for Open Access.\nHow to register\nTo register your in
