Informatics Studies - Special Issue: ‘Sander Dekker: Open Sesame, Open Science’ - Published
by Centre for Informatics Research and Development 02 May '21

02 May '21

Readers: Informatics Studies has just published its latest issue at http://52.205.22.215/index.php/informatics. The current crisis around the Corona virus revealed the importance of Open Access and Open Science - unfettered access to scientific and scholarly information, for scientists, researchers, academicians, journalists and the public alike - for effectively dealing with such calamities. It is the efforts of Sander Dekker during the last decade to implement Open Access by legislation and involvement of European Union; that made it easy for the scientific community to place their research results on Covid-19 under Open Access to arrest the spread of the pandemic. Considering the importance of the contributions of Dekker in the efforts of humanity to sustain life on this planet; the present issue of Informatics Studies is devoted for collecting together historical documents reflecting his work, with two reviews of his career and contributions. We invite you to visit our web site, review the Table of Contents, and then to review articles and items of interest. Thanks for the continuing interest in our work, Dr. Raman Nair R Centre for Informatics Research and Development.
