Ministry of Agriculture Funds Open Access Projects

Here's an update on the pilot project I posted earlier this year. The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs has decided to fund two open access projects for research. One of the projects is led by Professor Helen Hambly at the University of Guelph and I will be working with her and the OMAFRA Veg Crop Specialist Janice LeBoeuf. We will be reviewing the issues behind publishing research reports on applied topics like veg crops. Our focus will be to recommend how the researchers in this area can make the reports they create public and freely accessible on the Internet.
