Ask Us: Scholarly Communications

The UAlbany Open Access Policy is a powerful, collective statement about the University's commitment to promote the access to and use of our scholarship by the wider public. The primary aim is to make our scholarship more widely available and accessible. We assert UAlbany author control over the publication of scholarly research, and we recognize our responsibility for making that process sustainable and true to the intentions of scholars. We are also sending a strong collective message to commercial publishers about our values and the system we would like to see put in place.
