Profiles in Open is an initiative of the University of Oklahoma Libraries Open Initiatives and Scholarly Communication (OISC) unit that features opinions and experiences of OU scholars who advocate for open access, open research, and open pedagogy practices. Examples of profilees include students, staff, and faculty that have published open access articles and journals, created and published open educational resources (OER), received OU research publication subvention funding, or advocate for open access through other measures.          

The initiative also highlights campus entities, such as OU Press, that publish open access materials as part of their open initiatives.          

Suggestions for future profiles of OU faculty members, administrators, staff, or students who are working "in the open" are welcome, including self-nominations. Contact one of the Co-Coordinators of the Open Access Policy Implementation Project for more information.
