The International Open Access Week will be celebrated from October 21-27, 2024. At BCAM, within the workshop 1st IN-DEEP Week, we will do so.

We encourage you to join us on October 24th, for the Open Science Talk, given by Miguel Benítez (Project Manager, BCAM). The talk will be at the Maryam Mirzakahni Seminar room and online at 16:45h-17:30h.

In this session, the following points will be addressed:

• Open Science: A General Context

• Datasets

• Editorials vs repositories

• Acknowledgments

We would like to share with you the Paywall – The Business of Scholarship documentary. This video focuses on the need for Open Access to research and science.

The film questions the rationale behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers and examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publisher.
