The [[w:Open Access|Open Access]] movement is a movement to make all scholarly literature, and all publicly funded research, freely available to everyone online. |
|||
== Examples of OA in use == |
|||
Jack Andraka (@jackandraka) won the ISEF science fair for his work creating a better test for pancreatic cancer (~10^9 better overall [performance*price] than existing tests). |
|||
: Most of the detailed research he needed beyond Google + Wikipedia knowledge was locked behind paywalls. ~$20-100 per item. |
|||
=== Policy wishlist === |
|||
* By country |
|||
*: There are only 14 countries with comprehensive OA mandates. Now including the NIH mandate from 2008. Look at templates and push for o ne to take effect in your country. |
|||
*: Spread one succes in your country to others. There are 24 total funding agencies in the US national government; only NIH has the above, and SPARC and others are pushing to extend that model. |
|||
* By field |
|||
* By topic |
|||
*; Alternate metrics: design and promote alt metrics that include publishing through Wikipedia. Articulate how publishing to WP helps to spread adoption of methods and ideas. Maintain, evaluate, and publish the results of evaluating those metrics. |
|||
*; Lowest-hanging fruit to make OA the default for everyone: Target research funders, get them to require OA publishing to get funding. This affects 80% of all research (by #? by impact?) but much research is funded more by international agencies, not just gov. agencies. |
