“I believe OA publishing is part of a much-needed push for greater equity across academia and across the world. Publishing research OA means giving more people the opportunity to read your work who would otherwise not have had the chance or means to do so. I hope that agreements, like the Jisc Transformative Agreement, will become more widespread to support the wider uptake of OA."

Oliver Hauser, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Exeter Business School, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, and Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute
