Last year\u2019s theme\u00a0 \u201cCommunity over Commercialisation\u201d is continued for 2024 \u2013 seeking to raise awareness around the importance of community controlled knowledge sharing systems such as institutional and subject repositories and open publishing platforms and initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Cardiff University\u2019s institutional repository <a href=\"https:\/\/orca.cardiff.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ORCA<\/a> facilitates open access for our research outputs, making the full text available for research articles as soon as the publisher allows this. The percentage of the University\u2019s research articles that are made openly available immediately on publication, rather than after an embargo period, is growing. This is facilitated by our participation in \u00a0\u201cRead and Publish\u201d agreements with 29 publishers, and to a growing number of publishers allowing the accepted manuscript (post print) version to be made openly available with zero embargo period.<\/p>\n<p>This special edition infographic provides a snapshot of Open Access publishing activity and downloads from our repository over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>We will be posting to our blog throughout the week with news on a variety of open research initiatives the University is involved in. Look out for our forthcoming posts including an update on \u00a0the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) OR4 project, the launch of the University\u2019s \u00a0new research data repository, the rights retention approach to Open Access, and and an open research\u00a0 perspective from a Cardiff University researcher involved in the the UKRN &#8220;Train the Trainer&#8221; project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"post-888 media-888\" class=\"image align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/openaccess\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/552\/2024\/10\/Infographic-OA-Week-2024-page-1.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"post-889 media-889\" class=\"image align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/openaccess\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/552\/2024\/10\/Infographic-OA-Week-2024-page-2.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by Helen Sharp, Scholarly Publications Specialist, Open Access Support Team, University Library Service Today marks the start of International Open Access Week 2024 .
