Hey #academicTwitter - what are some of the pros and cons of publishing in #OpenAccess and what can we do, as a community, to fix the cons?


"Unfortunately, even a major project like the Horizon 2020 open research publishing platform...will not be able to change that culture on its own, however welcome it might be in itself. Core changes must come from within the academic world." ow.ly/qP6M30l8ctk

For all of our favorite #academics and #OpenAccess advocates stuck in #Amsterdam right now, we suggested leaving the books at home and hanging out at one of these swimming pools to cool off! ow.ly/9DFF30l8daR

Yes, @Moedas! We couldn't agree more.

Science is not carried out by governments. Science is the product of the hard work of scientists. Human beings are the true owners of the results of science. ⇢ europa.eu/!KT67MW #ESOF2018 #EUatESOF #HorizonEU #OpenScience
