Oct 19 to 24 is Open Access Week. Open Access is a movement within the global research community to make published work freely available, immediately after publication. The Budapest Open Access Initiative, introduced in 2002, articulated the philosophy behind it. Open access quickly took root in the scientific and medical communities because it offered an alternative route to research literature that was frequently closed off behind costly subscription barriers.
You may also take part in the initiative by depositing your published work with DR-NTU. DR-NTU comprises two Digital Repositories: DR-NTU (Open Access) and DR-NTU (Restricted Access). DR-NTU (Open access) focuses primarily on collecting conference papers and journal articles by NTU faculty & researchers for which publishers permit self archiving in open access repositories. DR-NTU (Restricted access) comprise student submissions such as theses, work attachment reports and final year project reports that require user authentication to access the full text.
