Scholarly Communication & Open Access

openaccess

The University Libraries will celebrate International Open Access Week during the week of October 21, 2012. This is the fifth year Mason has participated in this event, drawing attention to the importance and impact of sharing online research, creative works, and data freely throughout the world. In honor of Mason faculty who have published in, reviewed for, or edit/host an open access journal, the University Libraries Scholarly Communications Team will host a reception on October 24 in the Edwin Meese Conference Room, Mason Hall.

If you have published in, reviewed for, or edit/host an open access journal, please let us know by sharing the citation(s) for work(s) you have published in OA journals, title of OA journal(s) and dates during which you were a reviewer, and/or title of OA journal you edit(ed).

OA journals that follow the “Gold” or “Green” model are included. Works you have deposited in the Mason Archival Repository Service (MARS) will also be listed; we have this information already. All works will be compiled into an on-going bibliography of OA activity undertaken by scholars at Mason and posted on the University Libraries’ Scholarly Communications website (scholarly.gmu.edu). More immediately, however, this list will indicate who should be invited to the reception!

Please help us recognize and honor you in the Mason community for your willingness to share your research and creativity with the online world. Please send your responses to Claudia Holland, Copyright Officer, at chollan3_at_gmu.edu by September 17, 2012.
