Open Access týždeň/Open Access Week

Open Access týždeň sa uskutočnil tento rok v dňoch 24. – 30. októbra 2016 po celom svete. Išlo už o ôsmy ročník. Prvý sa uskutočnil v roku 2008 pod názvom Deň otvoreného prístupu. V roku 2009 sa táto udalosť rozšírila na celý týždeň, počas ktorého knižnice organizujú workshopy, panelové diskusie a prezentácie na tému otvoreného prístupu, organizátori sú oblečení v žiarivých oranžových tričkách alebo aspoň majú oranžové odznaky s nápisom Open Access. Za jeho organizáciou stojí SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition), PloS (Public Library of Science), R2RC (Right to Research Coalition) a Students for Free Culture.
