A major Brazilian OA initiative The day before 14 European university rectors met at the University of Liege to launch a European campaign to persuade research institutions to adopt strong, local OA policies, six Brazilian rectors did the same. Here's a report from Sely Costa of the Universidade de Brasília:
Comment. Kudos to all involved in Brasilia, especially to the Chancellor. Universities are clearly realizing that they have their own interests in OA and needn't wait for funders, legislators, or publishers in order to bring it about. I hope the Brasilia-Liege movement spreads to other every other nation and region. |
