“Research leads to breakthroughs, and
communicating the results of research is what allows us to turn breakthroughs
into better lives.”*
No one understands this better
than the non-profit organizations that work to better our communities. Non-profits often cannot afford access to the
latest research in peer-reviewed academic journals because those articles are locked
behind paywalls. That is a strong argument for public, open access to research.
Listen to what East Tennessee non-profits
told us when they came to UT’s John
C. Hodges Library for free workshops on finding and accessing the latest research.
