The theme of Open Access Week 2017 is a question:  "Open in order to..... " is an invitation to answer the question of what concrete benefits can be realized by making scholarly outputs openly available. It amis to serve as a prompt to move beyond talking about openness in itself and focus on what openness enables—in an individual discipline, at a particular institution, or in a specific context; then to take action to realize these benefits.
