Fore more information, please visit the Library OER guide: https://libguides.d.umn.edu/open

Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles combined with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. Open Access is the needed modern update for the communication of research that fully utilizes the Internet for what it was originally built to do—accelerate research. (Defined by SPARC*)

Check out the UMD Open Access Guide as a jumping off point for open access resources.

The Society for Scholarly Publishing established The Scholarly Kitchen in February 2008 to:

Keep SSP members and interested parties aware of new developments in publishing
Point to research reports and projects
Interpret the significance of relevant research in a balanced way (or occasionally in a provocative way)
Suggest areas that need more input by identifying gaps in knowledge
Translate findings from related endeavors (publishing outside STM, online business, user trends)
Attract the community of STM information experts interested in these things and give them a place to contribute
