Big congrats to the 2013 finalists of the Accelerating Science Award Program (#SciASAP) – they are real examples of why open access is so critical, fine out their

stories and amazing projects here.

SSRN is a very proud sponsor of ASAP – the program recognizes individuals who have used, applied, or remixed scientific research — published through Open Access — to make a difference in science, medicine, business, technology or society as a whole. We’ll be in DC at the 2013 Open Access Week Kickoff Event (SPARC) where the award recipients will be announced – watch/attend here! An incredible month for open access and scholarly research.
