WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

A better understanding on what Open Access is, and examples of what it offers to individual scientists and to scientific institutions in Developing Countries, will be presented. The aim of the workshop is not only to introduce the newest technologies in Open Access but also to give participants an extensive hands-on experience on selected techniques.

TOPICS

Participants will be exposed to the tremendous resources and possibilities available to the scientific community including:


*	Potential of Open Access in science 
*	Open Source software for Open Access 
*	Open Access policy, advocacy and editorial roles 
*	Open Access publishing and repository design for science 
*	Open Access repositories and eJournals - case studies 
*	Web 2.0 for Open Access
