![OA in Principle
and Practice
I have published a paper in PLOS with
a colleague who suggested it. It’s a
good journal. Also a chapter in an OA
book "Biosensors for Health,
Environment and Biosecurity". My
Mark Pritzker grad student got an email invitation
Professor to submit from the publisher, INTECH.

In principle, OA is a good idea.
Information should be freely available.
Practically, however, it’s expensive
and whether it’s obvious or not you
should assume you will be paying
page charges. If a uWaterloo fund
could contribute half of the costs, that
would help.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/openaccessprofiles-121022101616-phpapp01/85/Open-access-profiles_-8-320.jpg)
Open access profiles_
- 1. Research results should be accessible to the public Publishes Articles in The Cryosphere: an Interactive Open Access Journal of the European Geosciences Union. Research Depending on Openness Alexander Developed and published open-source extensions for the open-source software, R. Brenning “My research would have been completely Associate Professor different if not impossible without open- Geography and source software.” Environmental Management Removing Barriers to Research Statistical & “Research results should be accessible to the computational public, in Canada and internationally - that's methods in what research is about...Open-access geography and removes one obstacle, having to pay to remote sensing access research outcomes.”
- 2. Promotes OA Journals Do whatever is possible: “We do whatever possible to promote OA journals, including paying page charges, reviewing and services to the journals.” Chen is part of the PLOS One Editorial Board Pu Chen Professor Chemical Engineering “Lots of research we do is Waterloo Institute using the tax payers’ money for Nanotechnology …and for the good of our society. The Canada Research output should serve the purposes of the Chair in Nano- general public. I publish in appropriate Biomaterials journals in our areas of study, whether open or not open access.”

- 5. OA Builds Capacity I co-publish with colleagues from developing countries. Many journals - like Public Health Nutrition - provide OA to individuals and institutions in these countries. AGORA 845 journals open access for 113 developing countries Sue Horton HINARI biomedical and health journals Professor School of Public “I try to support capacity building in Health developing countries (training international students in Canada, CIGI Chair in offering workshops in developing Global Health countries etc.)” OA practices help build Economics research capacity in these countries.

- 6. High Citation Rate With OA Sensors On the Editorial Board of Sensors, the leading international, peer-reviewed open access journal on the science and technology of sensors and biosensors. Sensors: Impact Factor: 1.739 (2011); Jonathan Li 5-Year Impact Factor: 2.060 (2011) Professor “The great advantage in Geography and publishing a paper in an Environmental Management open source journal is the high citation rate.” Remote sensing and geographical Co-authored several articles in Sensors. information Guest Editor of the special issue of science Sensors, “LiDAR for 3D City Modeling.”
