<Apologies for cross posting> Feel like a good-news open access story?
There is a fantastic project happening in Australia through Engineers Without Borders. Not only is their new journal open access but they have thought about all aspects of accessibility – from providing understandable short summaries of technical papers to translating them into the languages needed in the field, considering internet connection availability and providing accessible versions for people with disabilities. This is genuine open access in action, and it should be celebrated! The AOASG blog "Accessibility is more than making the paper OA" is available now - http://aoasg.org.au/2013/07/02/accessibility-is-more-than-making-the-paper-oa/ Have a read and pass it on. There are lessons here for all publishers, big and small.
