Open Access report

WikiProject Open Access at Open Access conference; fifth Topic Page

WikiProject Open Access at the CERN Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication

From June 19-21, the 8th CERN Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI8) took place in Geneva, where librarians, researchers, research administrators, research funders and research publishers discussed how open access is changing the way academic research is being communicated. Amongst them were four members of WikiProject Open Access, who also organized a breakout session on actual and potential interactions between the open access and Wikimedia communities. One of the outcomes is a nascent collaboration with Open Book publishers, which resulted in a first book being uploaded to Wikisource.
