Each year, Open Access Week highlights a theme that encourages discussion and reflection. This year’s theme, ‘Who owns our knowledge?’ invites us to consider important questions of ownership, access and equity in research. Whose voices are valued in academic research? Who has the right to access education and scientific findings? And how can the scientific community shape the future of knowledge in an era of change?

The focus for this year's Peer Review Week is 'Peer Review and the Future of Publishing'. In this blog post, Senior Publishing Editor, Andrew Dunn, reflects on some of the less traditional and more forward-looking models of publication and peer review that we support.

As the national academy of science for the UK, we support open access and open science to maximise the dissemination and re-use of research outputs.

While open science is gaining traction across the research system, funding practices are notoriously lagging behind. Royal Society Open Science’s 5000th accepted paper, suggests open applications and open funding decisions as the next frontier in open science.
