About

Ever read an exciting abstract and then been directed to a payment page?

The open access (OA) movement has revolutionized the field of scientific publishing. Instead of requiring an annual subscription of $1000 or a payment of $50 per article, OA journals provide the latest research to the reader free of charge. This blog will keep you up to date on all of the latest debates, discussions, and news on OA.

It was founded in 2008 when Nathan Georgette, a researcher frustrated with endless payment pages, joined the OA movement.  In fact, you can read Nathan Georgette’s latest paper online through Open Access.  Please contact us with any questions or concerns at ngeorgette@openaccessblog.com

We have a new blog!  It’s Social Justice Science and it discusses social justice, science, and their intersection.  Come by and see what it has to offer.
