Open Access Week will hit the research communities worldwide from October 18^th – 24^th, 2010! Here is the OA Week web site that will tell you what is going to happen and what you can do to help.

To spread information to developing and emerging regions on the value of OA to research and economic development we need to make a lot of noise this week. We need to tell others how free access to research, or distribution of their own research through OA, has changed their work or their career for the better.

Here is a request: can you send EPT any stories you can share that show how OA has advanced your work. Has it lead to new contacts? Has it lead to new research partnerships and publications? Has it made you think about the importance of getting your research findings into the global community to help resolve global
problems? Has it helped your own career? Has it put your organisation on the global map?

Blog. We will collate your stories and make them widely known so that others
will be encouraged.
