Hard times for OA analysts

Funding appears tight at “Analysis and Policy Observatory”, the Swinburne U  supported site formerly known as Australian Policy On-line

Tight enough for director Brigid van Wanrooy  to ask readers of the open access resource to donate. “The future of APO is at risk. Swinburne UT cannot subsidise APO indefinitely, and we all have a lot to lose from its closure.”

Sounds serious, but the end may not be all that nigh. Swinburne U’s “support remains and we are always looking at sustainable options for its future,” DVC R Karen Hapgood tells CMM.
