<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">We have reached the end of Open Access Week 2017 and this is our final contribution. This year we have partnered with CRUK for one event, joined the University Festival of Ideas and more - it has been a
very successful week again. Thanks to all for participating.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><b>Blog<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">We have had over 1400 reads of our OA Week Unlocking Research blogs so far!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Today's blog ‘It’s hard getting a date’ <a style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);" href="https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1716" target="_blank">https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1716</a> considers
the ridiculously difficult problem of establishing the publication date of a particular article.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-size: 11pt;"><b><font size="3">Announcement – ORCID Competition<o:p></o:p></font></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">The ORCID competition closed at midnight last night. Thanks to all of the people who have responded to this competition. We will be drawing the winner of the £150 Heffer’s voucher later today and will announce
the winner on the OSC website and via Twitter.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">We want to also thank all the people who had already taken advantage of the benefits of linking their ORCIDs without the incentive of a competition, and by way of recognising this will be running a second
draw later in the year! We will send out announcements closer to the time, so watch this space…<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><b>Event - Helping Researchers Publish in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Following Wednesday’s hugely successful Helping Researchers Publish in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, today we are hosting Helping Researchers Publish in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
The morning of talks will feature contributions from Miriam Frankel (The Conversation), Brian Cody (Scholastica), Dr Sabina Alam (F1000) and more! Again, we will be recording the event and will make the files available online soon.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><b>Updates from earlier in Open Access Week</b></p>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<li>We are delighted to announce that we have already had 79 requests from alumni to make their doctoral theses available open access, following our announcement of this project earlier this week.</li><li>For those of you interested in watching yesterday’s webinar on spotting a predatory publisher, here’s the link - <a style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); font-size: 15px;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He9GJybTtUw&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He9GJybTtUw&feature=youtu.be</a> We
will be sending out the links to our other recordings in the coming weeks.</li><li>Of course the media storm around the release of Professor Hawking’s thesis did eclipse some of our other activities this week. It is somewhat challenging to identify exactly how many times the item was accessed because of the mitigations we put in place
to ensure people could open the file. We do know we have seen over 750,000 unique IP addresses, and each of those may represent multiple people.</li><li>The full list of activities, blogs and links from this week are on our OA Week webpage <a style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);" href="https://osc.cam.ac.uk/open-access/open-access-week-2017" target="_blank">https://osc.cam.ac.uk/open-access/open-access-week-2017</a></li></ul>
