The Octagon is a collection of open access articles written by Amherst College faculty. The Open Access Resolution, passed in 2013, reflects the faculty’s commitment to disseminating the results of its scholarship and research to a worldwide public audience; the Octagon represents that commitment by allowing faculty to submit their articles to an open access collection. Articles in the Octagon are available to the public, free of embargoes or paywalls, and easy to access.
