Open Access can make your work available to more people, spreading the real-world and academic impact of your work and improving your academic profile.

Australian Chief Scientist, Dr Cathy Foley at the Australian Press Club (17th March, 2021):

“Access to information is the great enabler for innovation and for research commercialisation. Lack of access to information is a real roadblock and hinders our ability to compete internationally.”

In addition, Dr Foley is “closely considering” an “OA strategy in Australia.”
