To coincide with the start of Open Access Week, UKeiG is pleased to announce the publication of a new comprehensive White Paper entitled Open Science, Open Data, Open Access …
Written by David Ball of David Ball Consulting, an expert in the Open Access field, it takes as its starting point recent developments in the transition to Open Science. This discussion is followed by a wide-ranging review of the major growth areas of Open Data, Open Access and Open Monographs and textbooks.
This comprehensive review will be of interest to all involved or interested in the latest developments in the openness of research in science, social science, the arts and humanities.
