The UC San Diego Library is celebrating Open Access Week with various activities and discussions. Join us for a full program of events designed to help every UC San Diego scholar and researcher actively participate and benefit from an open research system.
Paywall is a documentary that focuses on the need for open access to research and science, questions the rationale behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publisher Elsevier and looks at how that profit margin is often greater than some of the most profitable tech companies like Apple, Facebook and Google. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
