International Open Access Week is an opportunity for the academic and research community to learn about the benefits of open access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make open access a new norm in scholarship and research. The theme of International Open Access Week 2019, taking place October 21–27, is “Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge.”
