Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP)

Goals

HOAP launched in 2011 to foster open access (OA) within Harvard and beyond, undertake research and policy analysis on OA, and provide OA to timely and accurate information about OA itself.

Funding

HOAP was funded by grants from Arcadia (2011-2016) and the Laura and John Arnold Foundation (2016-2018). During both grant periods, HOAP was based at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society.

HOAP continues as a active but unfunded project of the Berkman Klein Center. See how this affects the Open Access Tracking Project.

Consultations

HOAP consults pro bono with universities, libraries, funders, societies, publishers, governments, nonprofit advocacy groups, tool-builders, start-ups, projects, and researchers on OA policies, practices, and strategies. Among other things, these confidential, consultations can assist with policy language, implementation, and answers to frequently heard questions, objections, and misunderstandings. For more information, please contact Peter Suber.
