[Irtalk] HEPI Why are politicians so keen on open access? - HEPI

[Hilton Gibson]

In their day-to-day policy work, politicians and their advisers can find it
hard to access academic research themselves. They have no institutional
log-ins and, while the Libraries of the House of Commons and the House of
Lords subscribe to some journals, it is an eclectic and seemingly random
list. If you want to know why policy is not always rooted in evidence, this
is one small reason why.
