Here are just a few ideas of how you can help advance open access to scholarship and research:
Help raise awareness. Describe how open access accelerates change by disseminating research widely and immediately. Explain how open access can raise the visibility and impact of research.
Choose OA publication outlets for your scholarship whenever possible
Contribute to a disciplinary repository or an institutional repository such as the UA Campus Repository
Encourage your colleagues, students, and mentees to publish open access
Advocate for changes in the promotion, tenure, and retention process to value peer-reviewed open access articles equally with comparable articles published in subscription-based journals
Support open access journals by accepting their offers to serve on the editorial board or invitations to perform peer-review
Promote open access within your professional or scholarly society. Help persuade your society to makes its own journal open access.
