Why the Public Ought to Understand… : DASH Story 2013-03-04
Story content
I appreciate enormously your Open Access to academic papers, for the reasons below:
-My university in Madrid is suscribed to few journals, which are mostly related to my discipline. It is therefore very difficult to make interdisciplinary research.
-With the crisis, most universities in Spain are un-suscribing from most journals, so it is getting more and more complicated to access scholarly material.
-It is a great opportunity for students or people who may not be affiliated to a big university but who are researching in non-academic but still important knowledge production environments the chance to access and therefore contribute to their fields.
Thank you and congratulations for the initiative.
