[GOAL] Feature article on open access written for Australian Innovation System Report 2013

[Danny Kingsley]

<Apologies for cross posting>
Hi all,
Earlier this year, the then Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education invited the Australian Open Access Support Group (AOASG) to contribute a feature article to the Australian Innovation System Report 2013 <http://aoasg.org.au/blog/www.industry.gov.au/AISreport> which was published in early November. Entitled 'Open Access Publishing', the feature article by Dr Danny Kingsley appears in Chapter 4: Public Research Capacity and Innovation: University research quality assessment<http://www.industry.gov.au/innovation/policy/AustralianInnovationSystemReport/AISR2013/chapter-4-public-research-capacity-and-innovation/university-research-quality-assessment/index.html>.
The feature provides a background to open access and the Australian situation, so is not proposing new concepts, but the inclusion of a feature article on the issue of open access in such a report is a very positive sign for the place open access has within the broader research support systems in Australia.
The text of the article is reproduced on the AOASG website with the kind permission of the Department of Industry - http://aoasg.org.au/2013/11/21/open-access-publishing-feature-article/
Regards
Danny
