Cambridge University
Short video demonstrating usage of OASIS, the flagship program of the OATs (https://github.com/osc-cam/OATs) suite of Open Source tools. Using OASIS, members of the Open Access team at the Cambridge Office of Scholarly Communication are able to digitally stamp invoices received from publishers in PDF format. OASIS also takes care of renaming and filing copies of processed invoices for future reference.
Much research claims to benefit communities globally but are research outputs really available to everyone, even if they are made open access? We'll take a world tour with Dr Nilam Ashram-McGrath, Phil Weir, Dr Rafael Mitchell and Dr Alexandra Freeman to discover what is possible when researchers and governments make their research outputs available openly. What kind of impact do they have outside the academy – and outside the global north? What more can we do to make these outputs useful to innovators and to those researching outside the academic sector?
This event was held to celebrate Open Access Week 2018 and the University of Cambridge Festival of Ideas, at Mill Lane Lecture Theatres on 25 October 2018.
