Hello all,
We have made it to the end of Open Access Week and this is our final
contribution. It has been a big and successful week again. Thanks for
participating.
*Blog
*We have had over 1100 reads of our OA Week blogs so far*!

Today's blog "How open is Cambridge?"
https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1080 - is an analysis by
Dr Arthur Smith of how much Cambridge research is openly available.
The full list of blogs from this week are on our OA Week webpage

*Announcement*
The Office of Scholarly Communication is pleased to announce that 44
Cambridge researchers and staff have successfully applied to become Data
Champions; advocates for data management and sharing within their
departments. The Champions are in a range of departments from Applied
Mathematics through to Zoology, and include PIs, post-doctoral
researchers, PhD students and support professionals. As well as
advocating to their peers these Champions will be delivering
discipline-specific training on research data management and sharing.
The Data Champions will help meet the demand for more data management
training across Cambridge, something we are currently struggling to meet
<https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=877>, and will also
create a Community of Practice of researchers who can share their
expertise. In the coming weeks we will be adding information about the
Data Champions to http://www.data.cam.ac.uk so researchers can find the
right expert to help them. If you have any questions about this
programme please email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
We have also made available two infographics about the repository and
Open Access services at Cambridge

*Events*
Last night we launched Apollo, our upgraded University repository
https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/ - we couldn't go past the space theme
of an 'Apollo launch' - with astronaut ice-cream giveaways, a NASA
countdown, and even an intergalactic visit from Dr Peter Hedges, our
Head of the Research Office.
There is a short story about the event: 'Mission Open Access: the Apollo
Repository launches' https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1156
The recordings from our events this week are now available on
http://osc.cam.ac.uk/open-access/open-access-week-2016 if you missed the
live streams:

and Facebook"/
