21-27 October – International Open Access Week
The theme of International Open Access Week for 2024 will continues last year’s focus on Community over Commercialization. At KIB, we choose to republish some of the interesting, and still relevant, interviews we did in autumn 2023. We also take the opportunity to highlight some of the news on open access from KI and KIB.
We met with Patrik Magnusson, chair of the Open Science Working Group (OSWG), for the first time in 2022. Again in 2023 and now, during the Open Access week 2024: Open science at KI, where are we now? A new interview with Patrik Magnusson.
Open Access Week is an invaluable chance to connect the global momentum toward the open sharing of knowledge with the advancement of policy changes and the importance of social issues affecting people around the world. The event is celebrated by individuals, institutions and organizations around the world.

There is a major ongoing project at KI aiming to create both secure storage and make available research data from KI in the future. This applies both to research data that can be published completely openly and also to research data that contains data worthy of protection that can primarily be shared only with metadata.
I would like to recommend Acta Logopaedica, a newly launched open access journal in speech therapy-related fields. The editor-in-chief and several members of the editorial board are from CLINTEC at KI. It is available on the National Library’s platform, Publicera.
The majority of research articles authored by KI researchers are published open access with Creative Commons licenses in line with KI's open publishing policy, and this has been the case for many years.
