  41. Conclusions • Leverage the various Open movement (open data, open educational resources, open science) • Align the values of research with appropriate incentives and recognition • Also need to align policies that are emerging from the top with initiatives arising from the bottom • Recognition of non-proprietary and collaborative research output from networked scholarship • Reward dissemination of research findings through multiple means – beyond the journal • Move Prestige to Open Access
