The Down Syndrome Educational Trust has now made all of the articles published in the leading specialist journal Down Syndrome Research and Practice available for free online as part of its new Open Access publishing initiative.  

All Down Syndrome Research and Practice articles now freely available online

Through its new Open Access initiative the charity aims to share its accurate, reliable, up-to-date and evidence-based information as widely as possible, to benefit the maximum number of beneficiaries worldwide. 

Thanks to a grant from the Rufford Maurice Laing Foundation, the Trust has been able to convert and publish all of the articles published in Down Syndrome Research and Practice - the leading specialist, peer-reviewed scientific journal focused specifically on Down syndrome.

These articles are now available for free, under an open access licence, at Down Syndrome Online

Providing open access to reliable information

Under its Open Access initiative the Trust aims to offer free access to all of its research papers, books, teaching materials and more for families, education and health professionals and researchers.

The Trust plans to publish this online content under an open access licence that will permit individuals and organisations to freely copy and re-distribute the information subject to certain restrictions.

Converting the Trust's world-leading catalogue of printed materials, books and journals is a major undertaking, that will take significant time and funding. If you would like to support this exciting initiative, please contact us.
