21. Why?

22. Expanded access and lower costs for
academics and researchers everywhere

23. Whether at top institutions, or
community colleges,
whether in Beijing orVaranasi

24. Giving the broader public
access to our research

25. Are the public really interested in
access? A few examples...

27. Wikipedia is a great academic resource
- as a starting point for further research

28. More and more learners are turning to
open courses, and need open materials

29. 20,000+ students accessed OA articles
as part of their course

30. Enabling new forms of communicating
and organizing scholarly output

31. OA makes articles more accessible,
even for those who already have access

32. “One of the main points behind doing threads was
to bring the companion papers together with the
main papers. To make it work you needed to make
all of the papers open access. This could just not be
done without the papers being open access.”

33. A paper isn’t necessarily the best “unit
of organization”

35. Adding meaning to articles, enabling
knowledge to be mapped out

36. Can we do more?

45. MA thesis

72. Being an Open Scholar
Improves the quality of your research
Increases your connections, reach, opportunities
“Flattens” the world of academia
Don’t have to do all, but try some of it!

73. How do people find you?
It takes time, but quality content gets recognized
Comment on others’ blogs, retweet or answer Tweets
Conferences, hashtags
Don’t be so afraid of putting out unfinished work
Make it possible to “follow” you
