This week (Oct. 21-27) academic institutions and libraries across the globe are celebrating the benefits of Open Access for research and scholarship during the 12th annual International Open Access Week<\/a> commemoration.<\/p>\n

According to Dean of Libraries and School of Information Studies and Esther Ellis Norton Professor of Library Science Beth McNeil, Wright was chosen this year for his exceptional advocacy for Open Access (OA) at Purdue and beyond. Currently, Wright serves as the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement, an OA publication.<\/p>\n

\u201cWayne also actively promotes Open Access by sharing open access news and events with his faculty and provides engaging learning opportunities for Purdue\u2019s emerging scholars,\u201d McNeil said.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Wright collaborated with faculty in the College of Education and in Purdue Libraries and School of Information Studies to help organize a workshop on trending OA topics for graduate students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis workshop brought together faculty, graduate students, and librarians, generating rich, cross-disciplinary discussions that continued beyond the workshop,\u201d McNeil added.<\/p>\n

Wright noted he\u2019s grateful for Purdue\u2019s commitment and the OA resources provided by Purdue Libraries and School of Information Studies Scholarly Publishing Services to facilitate open access.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great honor to receive this award,\u201d he explained. \u201cOpen Access research is premised on the idea that most research is produced by public universities; thus, the research should be freely accessible to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n
