The Open Access Task Force will lead a university-wide discussion about open access at Clemson and provide recommendations for future initiatives and directions to ensure that university research and scholarship is disseminated as widely as possible.
Specifically, to:
- Clearly define open access as it pertains to this work
- Review Clemson’s open access activities to date, as well as activities of Clemson’s aspirational peers
- Survey faculty as well as departments, labs, centers, and other units with a vested interest or who are already engaged in open access work, to determine what their needs and preferences are related to open access
- Prepare recommendations to the Administration, as well as the faculty and the university, for new or strengthened open access policies and initiatives
- Work with Administration to develop implementation plans and report on progress on these initiatives
