Let's rescue our research with the Open Access Escape Room!

08/03/2019

The story starts in 2100. All research is published in open access with any cost neither for readers nor for authors. It's an ideal scenary. But unfortunately a villain is trying to take all Autonomous University of Barcelona's research. 

During the game you will have to solve some puzzles to help us to defeat the villain who has blocked all the research of our institution. Therefore, your task will consist in rescuing the research, released it and make it public and free again.

With this activity you will learn the basics of Open Access, its benefits, the different ways to publish in open access, and also which documents you can publish in open access. 

Date: Thursday, October 24th, all day long
Place: Digital Lab of the UAB Open Labs, Sala de Revistes of the Biblioteca d’Humanitats
