Prof. Ayşe K. Üskül participates in APS Open Access discussion.
Discussing her perceptions of open access and how the OA system might change the future world of research, Prof. Üskül said: ‘I […] personally cannot really think of anything negative that can comes with open access […]. Specifically, for psychology, I think open access will mean increasing [the] diversity of our field by connecting researchers in different parts of the world who will have increasing access to scientific knowledge. And that’s really crucial.’
