Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Dickinson supports open access publications and share publicly that removing the subscription barrier has been shown to increase the visibility of scholarship, with a corresponding increase in citation rates in many fields. Open access takes a variety of forms, including institutional or discipline-specific repositories for pre-prints; mandates requiring specific government-funded research articles to be placed in PubMed Central; and born-digital open access journals. All of these forms can enhance the distribution of knowledge and broaden the impact of scholarship.
We believe that inequity of access to information can have negative, even deadly consequences—and this makes access to research a social justice issue on multiple fronts. Dickinson is doing all it can to share information accurately and openly.
