In this paper I will outline methods for organizing and disseminating open research into OER. In particular, I focus on the value of curation when combined with strategies for the visual presentation of evidence (especially mapping). The discussion is framed by a presentation of the OER Impact Map, an asset of OERRH. %8 04/2014 %* yes %> https://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/archive/Paper_51-OER-Impact.pdf
