I work for #OpenAccess to research. Formerly directed the Harvard Office for Scholarly Communication. Now semi-retired but still working for the cause. Also an emeritus professor of #philosophy and non-practicing #lawyer. Posting on open research, academic culture, US politics, democracy. Dad of daughters. For #OA news, also follow the Open Access Tracking Project (@oatp). I aim for comprehensive coverage there, not here.
