Myself (Josh) and a small ragtag team are attempting another means of supporting open access endeavors and we need your help! We've recently launched:<br><br></div><a href="http://brevy.org" target="_blank">http://brevy.org</a><br><br></div>which is a guided-interface wiki to collect summaries (and to some extent, discussion and critiques) of academic literature. Brevy handles a lot of things for you automatically, so it's easy to add a quick summary without any web/coding knowledge.<br><br></div>To get this going, we really could use the help of the open access community to start populating the wiki with a pool of summaries. Here's a couple a couple of ways to help:<br></div>* Add a summary of the most significant research in your field!<br></div>* Assign making a summary as part of any courses you might teach (great way to introduce students to real research)<br></div>* Pass this along to those who might be interested!<br></div>* Share it on social media<br><br></div>Thanks, and let me know if there's any questions :)<br></div>-Josh over at Brevy <br></div>
