International Open Access Week 2023

From to

virtual and campus CRAI

From October 23 to 29, International Open Access Week 2023 is celebrated, an annual initiative to promote open access to the world of academia and research. This year, the theme is "Community or Commercialization" and aims to foster conversation about open science approaches that prioritize the best interests of the public and academic community.

At the URV, 63% of the scientific publications made by researchers in 2022 were open access. That year, the University allocated up to 381,025 euros for the publication of open access articles.

To disseminate and learn the benefits of publishing in open access, the CRAI has prepared different activities:

Library Day (October 24, 2023)

Virtual

On the occasion of Library Day (October 24), at CRAI we have prepared a very visual virtual center of interest where you can discover:

  • "Libraries of the world." CRAI's working staff recommend libraries around the world that they have visited at some time and that have a special interest, whether because of the architecture, the collections, the types of services they offer, etc. In parallel, we invite you to recommend your "world libraries" through the posts that we will publish throughout the day on our social networks: Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
  •  "Libraries and books in literature, cinema and social networks." Selection of books, comics, movies, documentaries, series, social networks, booktubers, bookgramers or booktokers made thanks to the collaboration of all the CRAI working staff.
  • "Get to know our libraries." It contains the presentation videos of all the URV campus CRAIs.

The theme of this edition of Library Day is "Weaving communities" and focuses on highlighting the fundamental role that libraries play in building strong ties within our communities. They are centers of connection and learning, where stories, experiences and knowledge are the threads that unite citizens.

More information on the official website about Library Day of the Ministry of Culture and Sports.
