Open access to information — free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research — has practical, real-world implications for people right here in East Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Because most academic research is hidden behind a paywall, many small nonprofits cannot access the peer-reviewed journal articles that can bolster their requests for grant funding. \u201cWithout access to research and those published articles, we can\u2019t possibly be doing our best work, and that impacts our clients,\u201d says Anita Parkhurst, grant writer for Catholic Charities of East Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Each year, Catholic Charities of East Tennessee provides temporary housing for thousands of clients. Parkhurst, who writes applications for the grant funding that underwrites these crucial services, understands the importance of access to research: \u201cI can tell a really good, compelling story about our clients and our programs, but what I really need to make the application competitive is the research that backs and supports the interventions that we\u2019re using to help the people — to help our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an example, Parkhurst mentions the charity\u2019s services to homeless individuals living with HIV and AIDS. \u201cI can tell you these stories about the clients who are living in our shelter right now. But, if I add the research about what happens to people who are living with HIV and AIDS — and they\u2019re homeless, and they\u2019re malnourished, and what happens to their health outcomes — all of a sudden I have a really credible application for funding for food for that program.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UT Libraries\u2019 provides resources and expertise to make UT faculty members\u2019 publications and data legally available to the public, through both the Open Publishing Support Fund<\/a> for open access publishing and also Tennessee Research and Creative Exchange (TRACE)<\/a>, UT\u2019s open repository of Volunteer research. Both of these resources empower faculty to legally share their research with the public.<\/p>\n

Look for more information about these resources from the Libraries\u2019 Scholars\u2019 Collaborative during Open Access Week next week, or contact Rachel Caldwell, Scholarly Communication & Publishing Librarian (rachelcaldwell@utk.edu<\/a>, 865-974-6107) in the Scholars\u2019 Collaborative<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
