Project MUSE Celebrates OA Week 2019
Open Access for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge
In the spirit of International Open Access Week October 21-27, 2019, Project MUSE embraces the theme of “Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge.” In collaboration with our participating publishers, we have curated a bibliography of fully OA books and journals articles related to this theme. We’re also highlighting some of our other recently released OA content, some of the OA initiatives in which we proudly participate, and some thoughts on OA from a few of the renowned academic publishers with whom we partner.
With the successful launch of MUSE Open in 2018, an initiative designed to ensure that open access monographs were broadly shared, highly discoverable and richly linked, our mission to support OA publishing goes on. We are committed to developing OA content well into the future and in that same spirit, in the here and now, this week, join with us! Discover. Explore. MUSE.
