Open Access
Open access is a growing international movement that uses online technologies to throw open the locked doors that once hid knowledge. Open access projects at UBC are embracing and encouraging unrestricted access to research and scholarly publishing. Explore featured projects such as Open UBC Week, cIRcle, Open Access Journal Hosting, Scholarly Communications at UBC, Transcription Factor Encyclopedia (TFe), the Public Knowledge Project and more.
Open Content and Publishing
UBC supports open publishing platforms that are especially well suited to educators, researchers, and scholars. Anyone at UBC is one click away from contributing to UBC’s wiki, creating an open access journal, publishing a research blog or website, or building a professional e-portfolio or community website. Discover these open publishing platforms such as cIRcle, UBC Wiki, UBC Blogs, Open e-Portfolios and others.
