The University of Kansas establishes first coalition of institutions practicing open access (USA)

The University of Kansas was among the first universities in the nation to share faculty research with audiences beyond those with academic journal subscriptions. The university has now taken the lead in forming a coalition with 21 other universities and colleges with established faculty open access policies in North America - such as Harvard University, Stanford University, Duke University and Concordia University in Montreal, Canada - to establish the new Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions. Known as COAPI, the group will collaborate and share implementation strategies and advocate on a national level for institutions with open access policies
