Sheppard"><em>Nick has worked in scholarly communications for over 10 years, currently as Open Research Advisor at the University of Leeds. Previously he was Research Services Advisor at Leeds Beckett University. Nick is interested in effective dissemination of research through sustainable models of open access, including underlying data, and potential synergies with open education and Open Educational Resources (OER), particularly underlying technology, software and interoperability of systems.</em></p> <p><strong>Q: What does Open Access means to you? <br>A:</strong> We live in the age of information where the world’s knowledge should be immediately and easily accessible to the majority of humanity. Instead much primary research is restricted to those that can afford it, whether to read under traditional subscription models or, under an APC based model, to publish at all. Meanwhile fake news is propagated freely with potentially disastrous consequences for our democracy, our ecology and global equality. Sustainable and affordable open access to research is essential for a well informed global population, the first step to building a better society. <br><span style="display: inline-block; padding-top:15px;">With equity as the theme of this year’s <a href="http://www.openaccessweek.org/">Open Access week</a> we will be exploring issues of equality including gender imbalance within the academy and how our University’s research can better benefit the Global South.

It is about cracking open the sum total of human knowledge in a way that machines can understand and, by extension, providing it in a way which enables users to find scholarly content more easily and, of course, in an unrestricted way. <br>International Open Access Week is approaching soon but, to be honest, we don’t tend to have plans for Open Access week because at Strathclyde every week is Open Access week! I think there might be quite a few UK institutions that operate in a similar way. In the UK we are fortunate that there is a powerful regulatory aspect to the REF2021 Open Access Policy which ensures researchers take better notice of the open science agenda.<span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-none" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2019/10/16/core-ambassador-george-macgregor/"><span>read more...</span></a></span></p></div> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2019/10/16/core-ambassador-george-macgregor/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-10-16T09:00:56+01:00">16th October 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-09-25T19:26:38+01:00">25th September 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/author/nancypontika/">nancypontika</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/ambassador/" rel="category tag">ambassador</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/core/" rel="category tag">CORE</a></span><span class="tags-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Tags </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/core-ambassador/" rel="tag">CORE Ambassador</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/george-macgregor/" rel="tag">george macgregor</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/interview/" rel="tag">interview</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/open-access/" rel="tag">open access</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/services/" rel="tag">services</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/strathprints/" rel="tag">strathprints</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/university-of-strathclyde/" rel="tag">university of strathclyde</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-851" class="post-851 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-aggregation category-coreupdate category-growth category-newsletter category-repositories tag-coreupdate tag-discovery tag-edutdm tag-news tag-open-repositories tag-open-science tag-services tag-statistics"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2019/10/11/core-update-for-july-to-september-2019/" rel="bookmark">CORE update for July to September 2019</a></h2> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="ecae" style=""> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">CORE releases CORE Discovery in Mozilla and Opera browsers</h4> <p class="has-text-align-justify"><img decoding="async" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft wp-image-864 lazy" style="width: 150px;" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20150%20150'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src="https://blog.core.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Mozilla_Firefox_2004_Logo-1.png" alt=""><a href="https://core.ac.uk/services/discovery/">CORE Discovery</a>, a browser extension that offers one-click access to free copies of research papers whenever you might hit a paywall, is now published in <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/uk/firefox/addon/core-discovery/?src=search">Mozilla</a> and <a href="https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/details/core-discovery/">Opera</a> Stores.
