<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">To coincide with our OpenCon London satellite event (opencon2017.org/opencon_2017_london) on 21st November, Know-Center, Digital Science and ScienceOpen are excited to team up with Authorea to announce an essay competition
for short blog posts on this year¡¯s Open Access Week theme of <b>¡°Open in order to ¡¦¡±</b>. This theme is an invitation to answer the question of
<b>what concrete benefits can be realized by making scholarly research outputs openly available</b>. ¡°Open in order to¡¦¡± serves as a prompt to
<b>move beyond talking about openness in itself and focus on what openness enables</b>—in an individual discipline, at a particular institution, or in a specific context;
<b>then to take action</b> to realize these benefits.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Your post, of no more than 750 words, should tell us what drives you towards open practices. What does openness help you to achieve that you couldn¡¯t do otherwise?</span></b><span lang="EN-GB"> ¡°Open in order to increase
the impact of my scholarship.¡± ¡°Open enables more equitable participation in research.¡± ¡°Open helps to improve public health.¡± These are just a few examples of how this question can be answered – we hope you¡¯ll come up with many other interesting answers!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
