Ting Lin of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering was selected as the recipient of the Publication award for her most recent open access publication and continued commitment to publishing open.
Faculty were selected by the Libraries’ Scholarly Publishing Team. The purpose of the Open Access Week Awards is to recognize faculty who have made their research open or used open materials in their courses. It is intended to assist faculty when demonstrating the impact of their work. For example, a faculty member may use the award on their dossier or vitae.
Open Access is the free, immediate availability of research articles online, coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment (SPARC).
