Advancement of Open Scholarship
 
At the heart of CUHK’s mission lies a steadfast commitment to disseminate knowledge through research in a comprehensive range of disciplines, thereby serving the citizens of Hong Kong, China, and the global community. The CUHK Library plays a crucial role in creating a research environment that is open, inclusive, and fair. This approach is central to CUHK’s culture and aligns with the values of the academic community. Promoting Open Scholarship is a key part of the CUHK Library Strategic Plan, highlighting our commitment to this important movement.
