Systematic Social Observation of Public Spaces:… : DASH Story 2016-02-08
Story content
I am a researcher in a developing country, with some access to journals through institutional access but not all. There is still a wealth of information in my area that I am unable to access. Particularly in new fields that have not been studied in developing contexts, it is difficult to get data from developed countries and advanced institutions to use as springboard for our own research. In the past hour I have accessed about 10 journal articles, and my manuscript is already stronger, this would not be possible if I had to buy every single one of them. Open Access, [and] open information is the way to go if we want a level playing field and even more rich and diverse discovery in science.
