Dear colleagues,

You may recall that in early 2017 we undertook a survey of open access in
the Asian region.

At long last, the report of the survey is ready:

"The continent of Asia is rapidly increasing in prominence on the world
stage, both in terms of R&D as well as scientific production. According to
the UNESCO World Science Report (2015), the region encompasses “close to
half of global economic output (45%) and expenditure on research and
development (R&D, 42%) and is home to both some of the world’s most dynamic
technological powerhouses”. In terms of research outputs, the Asian
continent is already prolific and is growing quickly, with China poised to
become the world’s leading country in terms of number of published research
articles.

As with other continents, open access policies and practices are being
adopted in Asia, although progress varies greatly across the different
jurisdictions and locations. This report provides an account of the current
state of open access in 16 regions of Asia. It is expected that the survey
results will contribute to the adoption of open access and help various
regions make the case for greater investment in open access, both in terms
of policies, as well as national and local infrastructure.”

*The full report of the survey is posted on the COAR
website: https://www.coar-repositories.org/community/asia-oa/

Thanks to everyone who took the time and effort to complete the survey!

All the best,

Kathleen (on behalf also of Kazu and Kostas)
