Purdue initiatives

The Provost has appointed a taskforce, chaired by Dean Mullins, which has been meeting since September 2007 to work on scholarly communication issues.

Members of this task force have been working to educate campus researchers about compliance with the NIH open-access mandate, and are also planning a forum to discuss the impact of issues in scholarly communication on promotion and tenure at Purdue. The forum will be held on May 6, 2008.
