In a win for open-access advocates, the government has announced a new policy ensuring that new research projects funded by MBIE will be freely available online. Juliet is quoted in the article stating, “It’s really important that all government-funded research is open to the public, who ultimately pay for it.” The article also links to this report by our former intern Tom Saunders, pictured left, which makes a compelling case for open-access.
Many thanks to Royal Society Te Apārangi for partial funding of Tom’s internship
