We join UNESCO and the international community in celebrating World Book and Copyright Day—a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. Every year, on 23 April, celebrations take place all over the world to recognize the scope of books, described by UNESCO as “a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations and across cultures”. Copyright is also a crucial way to provide authors with a set of rights to enable them to utilize their work and to be recognized as the creators. As an Open Access publisher, it is important to us that authors and scholars retain the copyright for their works. Therefore, it is time to celebrate the power of books and the importance of copyright protection together!
