Welcome to the Grand Final issue of ScieCom info: Nordic-Baltic Forum
for Scientific Communication November 2014.
We thank all our faithful readers throughout our ten-year existence
and are very grateful for all your support. It has been a real
pleasure to be able to cooperate with our experienced and resourceful
editors in all the Nordic and in the Baltic countries, and we
sincerely hope, that this Nordic-Baltic cooperation will live on to
give a common support to the Open Access movement.
Special thanks to our highly valued web editor and editorial staff.
Finally – many thanks to all our authors from our Nordic and Baltic
countries. Your contributions on the developments of OA-publishing and
OA-policies in your countries have generated an international
interest.
In this issue we present an overview of the DOAJ, once created here at
Lund university, the opinions on OA-policy in the Norwegian an Swedish
research councils, an interview with a Lithuanian academician on the
advantages of OA, and report on the current status of OA in the Nordic
and Baltic countries.
Have a good read!
