OATP feeds

Versions of the primary project feed

The primary project feed contains new OA-related developments noticed and tagged by project participants.

• The recommended version of the primary feed starts with the raw version (below) and filters it to reduce spam.
  • HTML version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/remix/oatp or http://feeds.feedburner.com/OATP-Primary
  • RSS version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/remix/oatp/items.rss
  • Atom version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/remix/oatp/items.atom
  • JSONP version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/remix/oatp/items.json?callback=callback
  • Email version = http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=OATP-Primary&loc=en_US
    • Click to subscribe to the feed by email. The link takes you to a web form asking for your email address and a captcha solution. Once confirmed, you'll receive one neatly-formatted email per day containing all the day's feed items.
    • Generated by Feedburner.
  • Twitter version = https://twitter.com/oatp
    • Generated by TwitterFeed.
    • The Twitter version is abridged (details). Please help us find an RSS-to-Twitter service that doesn't abridge the feed!
  • Google+ version https://plus.google.com/b/106186030764599769426/106186030764599769426/posts
    • Generated by HootSuite.
    • The Google+ version is abridged (details).
    • We temporarily halted the G+ version of the feed April 2, 2015, because Hootsuite was not sufficiently reliable. Please help us find an RSS-to-Google+ service that doesn't abridge the feed and doesn't flake out without notification.
  • PushBullet version = https://www.pushbullet.com/channel?tag=oatp
    • Generated by PushBullet
    • If you have a PushBullet account, click from within PushBullet to have the feed delivered to the notification bar of your mobile device.

  • HTML version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/tag/oa.new
  • RSS version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/tag/rss/oa.new

  • JSONP version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/tag/json/oa.new?callback=callback

Versions of the secondary project feeds

The secondary project feeds cover a range of OA subtopics. OATP supports a series of subtopic tags, each of which generates a feed.

• To read the feed for a given OATP tag, pick the tag and create the feed URL using one of the following patterns. These examples use the tag oa.policies. To follow a different tag, just replace oa.policies with the tag of your choice. (All OATP tags are lower-case only.)
  • HTML version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/tag/oa.policies
  • RSS version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/tag/rss/oa.policies
  • Atom version = http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/tag/atom/oa.policies

• This will work for any tag used in the TagTeam version of OATP.
  • See the list of all the tags used in the TagTeam version of OATP. (Open TagTeam, go to the OATP hub and click on the Tags tab.)
  • See the list of all the major tags used in the TagTeam OATP hub. (Go to the OATP home page at the Open Access Directory and click on the list of OATP tags.)

• For customized versions of these feeds which filter the project feed (e.g. to remove certain subtopics) or combine it with other feeds, see the page of OATP mashups and the section of the TagTeam manual on remix feeds.
