Call for OA Research and Data as Humanitarian Assistance to Japan (from the SPARC blog)
As we continue to collectively look for ways to support our colleagues in Japan as they work to recover from the unprecedented events of earlier this month, SPARC would like to reinforce a request made by Peter Suber this past weekend. We are collecting -- and posting to the SPARC Open Access Forum (SOAF) -- information on any initiatives that are offering free online access to research or data as humanitarian assistance to Japan. The initiatives may be gold, green, gratis, libre, partial, temporary, or any variation on the theme.
