Description

A presentation of an annotated timeline detailing the development of the Stony Brook University Open Access Policy. Before its adoption in February 2017, the SBU Open Access Policy traveled a twisting path and withstood a number of challenges. This presentation describes the process of developing the policy, finding models and a support community, working with the myriad stakeholders and collaborators, overcoming challenges, engaging the campus community, post policy promotion, education and raising awareness of open access.
