Description

This OER contains the materials to adapt 'The Cost of Research' display created as part of Chester Fritz Library's programming for the 2021 Open Access Week. It demonstrates how much it would cost a reader without access to institutional resources to obtain the research underlying a single short academic article. It also looks at how much it would cost to flip those same resources to open access based off their publishers' current APC charges. This display could best be used as part of educational programming focusing on the economics of scholarly publishing.

Displayed from October 25 - 29, 2021 as part of Chester Fritz Library's programming for the 2021 Open Access Week: "It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity”.

This display was inspired by and modeled on the ‘Case Study of Open Access’ created by Yayo Umetsubo at the University of Toronto for Open Access Week in 2018 (available here: https://sites.utm.utoronto.ca/yayo/cost-of-info/oa-2018).
