The Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP) fosters the growth of open access to research, within Harvard and beyond, using a combination of consultation, collaboration, community-building, and direct assistance. Open access makes knowledge accessible and reusable, accelerates the pace of discovery and discussion, maximizes the return on our investment in research, and speeds the development of all the benefits that depend on research, from new medicines and useful technologies to informed decisions, solved problems, and improved public policies.

- This page is part of the Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP).
- Sometimes HOAP needs a print handout, for example, to distribute at a Berkman Center Open House. Any useful handout would include URLs, and any print handout with URLs ought to have an online counterpart with active links. Voilà! This is a wiki version of our latest handout text.
The Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP) fosters the growth of open access to research, within Harvard and beyond, using a combination of consultation, collaboration, community-building, and direct assistance. Open access makes knowledge accessible and reusable, accelerates the pace of discovery and discussion, maximizes the return on our investment in research, and speeds the development of all the benefits that depend on research, from new medicines and useful technologies to informed decisions, solved problems, and improved public policies. More information may be found at the HOAP wiki: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/hoap/
1. HOAP fosters OA within Harvard by working closely with the Harvard Office for Scholarly Communication. https://osc.hul.harvard.edu/
2. HOAP fosters OA beyond Harvard by pro bono with universities, foundations, publishers, scholarly societies, governments, and other organizations considering OA policies. Since 2011, HOAP has consulted on OA policies and practices with three governments, 13 journals or publishers, 18 universities, and 23 other organizations or projects, on four continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America).
3. HOAP undertakes research and policy analysis on OA.
For example, HOAP maintains a widely endorsed guide to good practices for university open-access policies... http://bit.ly/goodoa
...and a series of guides to federal legislation supporting or opposing open access to publicly-funded research. For example, see the HOAP guides on the Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA), Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act (FASTR), and the Research Works Act (RWA). http://bit.ly/hoap-frpaa http://bit.ly/hoap-fastr http://bit.ly/hoap-rwa
4. Finally, HOAP provides OA to timely and accurate information about OA itself. HOAP manages the comprehensive, global Open Access Tracking Project (OATP)... http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/OA_tracking_project
...and makes frequent contributions to the Open Access Directory (OAD). http://oad.simmons.edu
Special note to Harvard faculty, students, and fellows: If your own research or activism focuses on any topics overlapping with OA itself, we'd be happy to work with you on common interests.
You can help the cause by making your own work open access. If you're not sure how, see the short HOAP guide on this subject. If it doesn't answer your questions, contact us. http://bit.ly/how-oa
HOAP is funded by Arcadia and based at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. http://www.arcadiafund.org.uk/ http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/
The HOAP team consists of Robert Darnton, William Fisher, Urs Gasser, Colin Maclay, Phil Malone, John Palfrey, Stuart Shieber, Peter Suber (Director), and Jonathan Zittrain.
