What are your goals for OA Week?

I wish to do an advocacy programme to acaademic staff of all five faculties of the university. The aim of this programme is to make them aware the importance of open access how much this contributes in accelerating scholarly communication activities and the research impact.

How did you hear of the OA Week site?

I'm highly interested on Open Access Issues. In 2013 I conducted an awareness programme for Faculty of Applied Sciences during the week, but could not follow it up continuously. I'm doing a research on Open Access and will be published soon. I hope this OA week celebration may give a good impact to our university's research productivity and uplift the position in webometric ranking.
