[GOAL] 100 Stories of Open Access Impact

[Promita Chatterji]

Hi Richard -


Thanks for your message.

We did this work because people were really hungry for stories around open
access impact, and we knew we had a significant volume of relevant data. We
work in partnership with hundreds of institutions on their open access
initiatives and see first-hand the impacts of their efforts. While the
report draws on bepress data, the framework and the stories themselves
highlight the accomplishments of institutions and their librarians that
have advanced open access. We believe they deserve to be recognized for it.


We enjoy working with UNESCO and very much value their work on open access:
they have a broad and inclusive perspective that serves to move the
community forward. We’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback on the
pre-print of the report and we hope that it inspires other institutions and
platforms to follow suit. The community would only be helped by having
additional stories of open access impact.


Best,

Promita
