This exciting international conference is a must-attend event for researchers, academics, educators and anyone with interests and expertise in open access that recognises the need to remain current in this highly progressive field. Attendees will benefit from encountering new ideas, forming research networks and taking part in stimulating discussion that aims to inspire and inform.
In the last ten years the way knowledge is created and disseminated has undergone significant change. The capacity of ICT and the rise of a rich text, highly interactive, user generated and socially active Internet (Web 2.0) have seen linear models of knowledge production replaced by more diffuse open ended and serendipitous knowledge processes.
As a result there has been a worldwide move towards establishing frameworks which can optimise access to research as well as the reuse of research, especially that which is publicly funded. This has been supported by the development of open access repositories, new publishing tools, new publishing models and a more strategic management of copyright at the individual and institutional level.
In the last session of the conference participants were asked to comment on a text to be known as the Brisbane Declaration, affirming in general terms support for open access to research as a general principle in Australia. As a result of this, a text was circulated following the conference which over 60 participants supported.
