This year’s theme for Open Access Week is It Matters How We Open Knowledge: building structural equity.  This theme really highlights that making your research open benefits not only our local community but the world — anywhere researchers, professionals, or decision-makers lack the subscriptions necessary to access the research they need.

To celebrate Open Access Week this year, we put together five tips to engage and introduce the Dalhousie University community to ways we can open our work using Dalhousie tools and resources. See below for more information on Open Access Week and quick links to the OA Week tips we featured all week on social media.
