“It is our mission to maximize usage of Open Access content, together with libraries and publishers around the world”, says Dr. Sven Fund, KU’s Managing Director. “With the new project of Open Access Heroes, we want to put the spotlight on those authors, publishers and institutions that have seen extraordinary interest from researchers.”

Knowledge Unlatched has produced an infographic in the form of a poster based on its analysis, which can be downloaded here or seen below.
