International Open Access Week is observed internationally each October and it is a time for the academic and research community to provide awareness of the benefits of open access. Here at the Advocate Aurora Library, we wanted to take this week to highlight two open access journals published by Advocate Aurora Health.
What is Open Access?
Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. Open Access ensures that anyone can access and use these results to turn ideas into industries and breakthroughs into better lives.
