Why Open Access?
•We do our research to           The countries we work with can’t
benefit anyone interested, not    afford journals; they’re already
some exclusive club              paying an arm and a leg for
                                 textbooks -Sir John Daniel
•Many scholars, doctors,
patients, engineers,
policymakers (and esp. in poor     The academic community

  Open Access “Hulk”




          •Not all publishers profiteer


          •The real enemy is us!
(Maybe not the most evil, but the enemy easiest to change)
•Support open access journals
(www.openaccesspledge.com)
•Deposit your articles in the university repository (http://
ses.library.usyd.edu.au/
  •Even with closed journals, you usually have the right
  to deposit your final version (e.g. Word document
  before typeset by publisher)
•Best for university and its funders if research outputs open
access; indeed it’s mandated by:
  •NIH, Wellcome Trust
  •Princeton, Harvard
  •Queensland University of Technology

Let me know if you want to help open Sydney Uni
