Open Access refers to free, unrestricted online access to research outputs (such as journal articles, theses and monographs) combined with the right to share and re-use the publication.
The University of Southampton has a long history of supporting and promoting open access. To celebrate Open Access week we have a new series of posts on our team blog, Research Matters|Southampton:
- A day in the life of our Open Research Development Manager
- A view from our institutional repository team on checking for compliance with open access policies
- Guest post from Helen Carter, Research Publications Specialist, on getting the most from your ORCiD
- Archives and open access: the importance of metadata
- A day in the life of our Institutional Repository Manager
