Accurate, Focused Research on Law, Technology and Knowledge Discovery Since 2002

Recent Open Access meeting focused on promoting Internet as medium for disseminating global knowledge

Jennifer Howard, Wired Campus: “Impact, not ideology, was the watchword at the Berlin 9 Open Access Conference, held…at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute {Betheda, MD, November 9-10, 2011] The 260 high-level researchers, fund providers, and open-access advocates who attended didn’t waste time bashing publishers who keep research behind paywalls. (Some commercial publishers, including Elsevier, attended.) Instead they focused on the benefits of putting research—in the humanities and social sciences as well as in the sciences—quickly and freely into the hands of scholars, students, innovators, and the general public.”
