I have realized that those who give lectures on Open Access and Open Source, and those who advocate Open Access do not always use all Open Software in personal and professional life or publish in Open Access Journals. I have listed out a few pointers to all those who say that they support OA. Lets do it in right way!
- Walk the talk
- Donate if possible
- Always use Open Source Software instead of Proprietary Software
- Publish only in Open Access Journals
- Archive in National & Institutional Repositories.
- Spread the word
Note: Yes, even I give lot of lectures on OA and I am trying to ensure to identify Open Access journals for publishing all my articles in the future. Although still need to learn Linux.
